2. Copyright
• The Copyright Act 1957 (the ‘Act’) came into effect in January 1958.
• The Act has been amended five times since then, i.e., in 1983, 1984, 1992, 1994, 1999 and 2012.
• The Copyright (Amendment) Act, 2012 is the most substantial.
• The main reasons for amendments to the Copyright Act, 1957
• To protect the Music and Film Industry and address its concerns;
• To address the concerns of the physically disabled and to protect the interests of the author of
any work; Incidental changes; to remove operational facilities; and enforcement of rights.
• Some of the important amendments to the Copyright Act in 2012 are an extension of copyright
protection in the digital environment such as penalties for circumvention of technological
protection measures and rights management information, the liability of internet service
providers, and the introduction of statutory licenses for cover versions and broadcasting
organizations; ensuring right to receive royalties for authors, and music composers, exclusive
economic and moral rights to performers.

3. Copyright
• What is copyright?
• Copyright is a right given by the law to creators of literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic
works and producers of cinematograph films and sound recordings.
• In fact, it is a bundle of rights including, inter alia, rights of reproduction, communication to
the public, adaptation, and translation of the work.
• Copyright ensures certain minimum safeguards of the rights of authors over their creations,
thereby protecting and rewarding creativity.
• The protection provided by copyright to the efforts of writers, artists, designers, dramatists,
musicians, architects, and producers of sound recordings, cinematograph films, and computer
software, creates an atmosphere conducive to creativity, which induces them to create more
and motivates others to create.

4. • Scope
• The Copyright Act 1957, protects original literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works and
cinematograph films and sound recordings from unauthorized uses.
• Unlike the case with patents, copyright protects the expressions and not the ideas.
• There is no copyright protection for ideas, procedures, methods of operation, or mathematical
concepts.

5. • Copyright does not ordinarily protect titles by themselves or names, short word
combinations, slogans, short phrases, methods, plots or factual information.
Copyright does not protect ideas or concepts. To get the protection of copyright a
work must be original.
• Acquisition of copyright is automatic and it does not require any formality.
Copyright comes into existence as soon as a work is created and no formality is
required to be completed for acquiring a copyright. However, the certificate of
registration of copyright and the entries made therein serve as prima facie
evidence in a court of law with reference to disputes relating to ownership of
copyright.

6. Rights of a Copyright Owner
• A copyright owner has the following rights in the copyrighted work:
• Produce the work in public
• Publish the work
• Perform the work in public
• Translate the work
• Make a cinematograph film or a record of the work
• Broadcast the work
• Make an adaptation of the work
• Make copies of the work and distribute them
• Prevent others from unauthorized usage of the copyrighted work

7. Copyright Infringement in India
• Copies of copyrighted work are made for hire/sale without authority or permission, such
as online piracy
• Infringing copies are distributed for personal and trade gains
• Copyrighted work is performed in a public place
• Infringing copies are imported into India
• Public exhibition of infringing copies prejudicial to the owner
• Reproduction of a dramatic, literary, artistic, or musical work other than in the form of a
cinematograph film
• Creating a recording embodying the copyrighted sound recording
• Copy of the cinematographic film.

8. Examples of Infringement
• When someone downloads movies from an unauthorized source, it will be
copyright infringement.
• When a person uses a television serial clip in a youtube video without giving
credit and publishes the serial clip on youtube, it amounts to copyright
infringement.
• When someone uses a song’s music as background music in his/her song, it results
in copyright infringement.

9. Self-archiving
• It is the act of (the author's) depositing a free copy of an electronic document
online in order to provide open access to it.
• The term usually refers to the self-archiving of the peer-reviewed research journal
and conference articles, as well as theses and book chapters, deposited in the
author's own institutional repository or open archive for the purpose of
maximizing its accessibility, usage, and citation impact.
