While consent remains the primary lawful basis for processing identifiable personal data, the law recognises specific exemptions where filming without consent is permitted.

Trademarks exist primarily to distinguish the goods or services of one business from those of another. When this distinguishing function disappears, the legal justification for trademark protection also disappears.

In litigation, defendants rarely concede authorship or ownership. They typically challenge originality, authorship, chain of title, locus standi, and evidence of copying.

This evidentiary burden explains why copyright disputes sometimes fail not because copyright does not subsist, but because ownership or standing is not sufficiently proven.
