The sweeping reforms
across the Indian economy have paved the way for the
opening up of the media industry. Adding greater impetus
to the growth of the infotainment sector is India’s
vast and educated population. The stimulated demand
has publishing houses, media companies, artistes, musicians…all
working overtime to meet the market requirements. With
the entire industry moving ahead in fast forward mode,
it is important that all the work produced gets adequate
protection.
Copyright is an effective legal solution that offers
several rights to protect literary, dramatic, musical
and artistic works. With a registered copyright, rights
owners can commercially exploit their property to their
advantage. Under the existing copyright laws, computer
software per se is protected as a literary work.
