Checklist · Sports & Entertainment Law
Moral rights consent checklist
A checklist recording that a contributor has been told of the three moral rights, that those rights cannot be assigned, and that any consent is a separate document. It is not the consent.

When to use it
Use when a production is collecting moral-rights consents from a writer, director, producer, screenwriter or performer. Do not use the checklist as the consent, and do not add formalities the Attorney-General's Department page does not state.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may list each contributor and which of the three rights they were told about. It must not draft the consent, a waiver, or a statement that the rights have been given up.
AI may
- List contributors and the work they created, and mark that moral rights sit with them whether or not they own copyright
- Record that the three rights were explained in the words the department's page uses
- Separate an assignment of copyright, which the page says can be transferred, from moral rights, which cannot
AI must not
- Must not draft a consent, a waiver, or a release of moral rights
- Must not invent a form of consent, a writing requirement, or a section number
- Must not say the department enforces copyright. The page says it does not
- Must not say a copyright notice is required. The page says it is not
The lawyer checks
- The consent, if any, is the lawyer's document and is not generated from this checklist
- Film-makers covered here are producers, directors and screenwriters, as the page states, and performers are covered for live performance and for a sound recording of a performance
- An employer-ownership point is not assumed. The page says the creator, or sometimes their employer, obtains the economic rights
- No contributor is told they can assign their moral rights
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
