Media Convergence- Law

Media Convergence has also created a number of laws and has developed a more legal structure to different industries. These days, legal laws affect the media industry by protecting people’s ideas, such as stories and music. An example could be that if a person owns the rights to a idea, and can produce a legal document to prove the ownership, then they own the rights. No one can copy that idea or produce a similar idea and pass it off as their own, if they do then legal action can be taken.

The copyright laws protect the owner’s ideas from being duplicated, and earn money from them in the future from reruns, a franchise or even movie rights.
