Abstract This study delves into the intricate fabric of copyright law in India, exploring the legal nuances and evolving jurisprudence surrounding intellectual property rights. Focused on the Indian Copyright Act, the research scrutinizes landmark and latest judicial decisions to unravel the complexities and trends shaping the realm of copyright protection.
The analysis begins with an overview of the foundational principles enshrined in the Indian Copyright Act, providing a comprehensive understanding of the statutory framework. Subsequently, the study examines key judicial pronouncements that have significantly influenced the interpretation and application of copyright law in India. These decisions span various facets, including the scope of protection, infringement, fair use, and the interplay between copyright and emerging technologies.
The research sheds light on the evolving nature of copyright law, as courts grapple with the challenges posed by advancements in digital technology and the internet. Noteworthy cases involving the digital exploitation of copyrighted works, peer-to-peer sharing, and online platforms are scrutinized to illustrate the judiciary's responses to the evolving landscape of creative expression.
Moreover, the study explores the delicate balance between protecting the rights of creators and fostering innovation and public access to knowledge. Landmark decisions on fair dealing, transformative use, and the public domain are examined to discern how Indian courts navigate these complex considerations.
