Copyright in India is governed by the Copyright Act of 1957, which grants exclusive rights to creators of original literary, musical, artistic, and cinematographic works. This means that the creators have the right to control the use, reproduction, and distribution of their works.
For example, if an author writes a novel, they have the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute copies of the book. If someone else wants to make a copy of the book, they need to get permission from the author or pay a fee. If a movie studio wants to adapt the book into a film, they also need to get permission from the author. In India, copyright protection lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years.
It’s important to note that libraries and archives also have certain privileges under the Copyright Act, such as the right to make a copy of a work for preservation or for the purpose of research and study, as long as the copy is not used for commercial purposes.
