I doubt the company would hold the copyright over an ad commissioned by a second party.

It all depends on how much control the advertising agency in Argentina have over the advert.

In the UK the agency that created the work would have copyright by default. The customer would have copyright only if the contract specified it. The work was not created in the UK though, so it would depend on copyright law in Argentina.
To be honest, rule of law seems to be a secondary concern so far as Kirchner is concerned, and I imagine she would insist on continuing to run the commercial even if the copyright was in the hands of the agency that made it.

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
This will be a landslide, it's just meant to be posturing towards the Argentinian government (obviously).

It really also does strengthen the UK argument in the United Nations in that they've let the inhabitants decide their own future. It's hard for the Argies to then say that the Falkland Islands should be theirs

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
Now HMG is obviously 'committed' to the notion of referenda, perhaps we could have one on membership of the EU?...

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
I hope that is the last post about an EU referendum because it's really off topic.

They'll just ignore it like the last one, (which was incidentally instigated by the Argentinian's themselves) by saying the islanders aren't aborigional.
