RATIONALE OF COPYRIGHT PROTECTION
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. There could be slight variations in the composition of the rights depending on the work.
Why should copyright be protected?
Copyright ensures certain minimum safeguards of the rights of authors over their creations, thereby protecting and rewarding creativity. Creativity being the keystone of progress, no civilized society can afford to ignore the basic requirement of encouraging the same. Economic and social development of a society is dependent on 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.
Is it not true that strict application of the principle of protection of copyright hampers economic and cultural development of the society?
Yes. If copyright protection is applied rigidly, it can hamper progress of the society. However, copyright laws are enacted with necessary exceptions and limitations to ensure that a balance is maintained between the interests of the creators and of the community.
To strike an appropriate and viable balance between the rights of the copyright owners and the interests of the society as a whole, there are exceptions in the law. Many types of exploitation of work which are for social purposes such as education, religious ceremonies, and so on are exempted from the operation of the rights granted in the Act. Copyright in a work is considered as infringed only if a substantial part is made use of unauthorizedly. What is ‘substantial’ varies from case to case. More often than not, it is a matter of quality rather than quantity. For example, if a lyricist copy a very catching phrase from another lyricist’s song, there is likely to be infringement even if that phrase is very short.
Does the law allow any use of a work without permission of the owner of the copyright, and, if so, which are they?
Subject to certain conditions, a fair deal for research, study, criticism, review and news reporting, as well as use of works in library and schools and in the legislatures, is permitted without specific permission of the copyright owners. In order to protect the interests of users, some exemptions have been prescribed in respect of specific uses of works enjoying copyright. Some of the exemptions are the uses of the work
1.
for the purpose of research or private study,
2.
for criticism or review,
3.
for reporting current events,
4.
in connection with judicial proceeding,
5.
performance by an amateur club or society if the performance is given to a non-paying audience, and
6.
the making of sound recordings of literary, dramatic or musical works under certain conditions.
What is the scope of protection in the Copyright Act,1957 ?
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 in an idea.
Does copyright apply to titles and names ?
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.
WORK
What is a work?
A work means any of the following , namely, a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
2. Hello. I am Mr. Kahpie Rite.
Today, we are going to learn about
copyright laws.
3.
4. Don’t Worry
This isn’t the MOST exciting lesson. BUT…it is very
IMPORTANT.
As new and upcoming educators in Sarasota
County, knowing and understanding these laws will
protect you, your students, and your career.
Your comprehension of copyright laws will also
enhance the teaching and learning environment
you create.
5. ???
How will it enhance our teaching environment by
just knowing the copyright laws?
6. Mr. Smith, that is an excellent
question!
Hopefully, by the end of our
discussion and after I share some
key points, you will know.
7. Copyright is a law that protects
intellectual properties.
What is intellectual property?
8. Intellectual property is anything that is created into
a fixed medium like a song, a picture, writing, a
website, a sculpture, electronics, shoes, and almost
anything else.
Basically, if you can see it, hear it, taste it, touch
it, or smell it, it is very likely it is protected by a
copyright law somewhere down the line.
9. Actually, a good thing to note is that this
concept…the concept of protecting authors’ works
can be traced back to the Constitution of the
United States, back in 1787.
The invention of things like computers, the
internet, smartphones, digital recording, and smart
pads, copyright issues are becoming more relevant.
10. Well, if everything is protected by copyright
laws, how can we legally use any of the information
we find?
Even as teachers, we can't know everything. I mean
we have to use or borrow information that
someone else had found all the time.
11. Copyright laws are in place to protect the
people. They protect the people who
create, but they protect the public in
general.
Copyright laws are supposed to help
promote advancements in sciences and arts.
In 1787, the term science refers to the act of
learning. Educators, therefore, have some
special privileges.
12. For the most part, educators are protected by the
Fair Use policy.
It is permissible, again most of the time, for
educators to use portions of copyrighted works in
the original condition for the use of education
and research.
You must not alter the original work in any way or
devalue the original work.
13. Well then, if we are going to
protected by the Fair Use
policy, then why should we be
concerned with the copyright
laws?
14. Very simple.
You could lose your job and any future career as
an educator.
Copyright offenses are federal offences dealt
with by the supreme courts (I wouldn’t want to
go there).
You could misguide your students.
You could have to live with the guilt of copyright
infringement.
15. QUIZ TIME
1. What are intellectual properties? List as many examples as
you can?
2. Would an impromptu speech be protected by copyright
laws?
3. Is it legal, for you as educators, to use a part or some parts
of someone else’s original work in your lessons?
4. If something does not have the copyright seal , does it
mean it is free to use at will?
5. If you are unsure about using information you find can you
and should you contact the person who made it?
16. Additional Information
Please refer to these other resources if you have any additional questions
or just want to know more about copyright laws and/or fair use.
