- Repeal of section 52 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.Page 17: Photographers, film makers and broadcasters: The exception for incidental inclusion of copyright material. For example, the exception would cover a photo or film of a kitchen with a teapot on the table (assuming that the particular teapot was a work of artistic craftsmanship). It would unlikely cover photographs of that teapot in which that work was the main subject of the photo, or a book with a series of photos of that teapot, especially if the teapot was the main focus of the photo or book.
