Violation of Copyright Law 1957

The Indian Copyright Law under the Indian Copyright of 1957 is the true manifestation of the Berne Convention of Copyrights, of which India is an active member. Moreover, India is also a dynamic member of World Intellectual Property Organization, Geneva. The act was put in place in 1957 by the government of India to protect the interest of pioneers and dreamers.

The Indian Copyright Law of 1957 bans the reproduction of a previously written artistic material or performance rights without prior consent of the owner. The law clearly states that the owner has the sole right on his copyright. The law not only protects works of art from ‘theft’ but also protects dramatic, artistic and musical works along with cinematography films and sound recording.

The use of ‘available material’ without sanction of author for personal profit is illegal and this act breaks the copyright law 1957. There are special copyright attorneys in India that can help you in the case of any possible violation. Violation of copyright law 1957 is an offense and is punished likewise. However there are some cases where the law cannot be enforced. If the theme is the same, but it is presented as a new work with no reference to the original one, there is no violation of the law.

You will get the best results if you take help, in case of any violation, of trained copyright lawyers. Moreover there are a number of agencies in India offering copyright services, and can help you in case of any breach of intellectual property. Many pioneers create a copyright management system in which they protect their online data using passwords and registration. However be careful that you hire a reputed Indian attorney for your work.
