ABSTRACT
Most of the UK's print and online media groups contract into its content regulation. The UK has three different legal jurisdictions: Scotland, Northern Ireland and England and Wales. There are significant differences in the media law among these three systems. It is also worth noting that the British Crown dependencies of the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, although part of the British Isles, also have their own separate legal jurisdictions and independent media law systems. Quite detailed research needs to be undertaken to ascertain rights holders in photographic images and legal disclaimers will need to be published to avoid future actions from the owners of what appeared to be orphan works Anonymity in the UK there are many classes of persons who have anonymity for life because of their involvement in criminal processes or legal proceedings. UK and European law ordinarily allows legal prohibition of communicating truthful information if it is 'private'.
