Clearing up the confusion: Do you need to register your work to claim copyright?

A copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the only authority over reproductions of their original works of art. It is additionally described as the owner's rights to the original creative works that they have produced. In India, copyright is represented under the Copyright Act of 1957. It grants the owner the right to create, distribute, and exhibit the work in public.

The Act states that a creator is allowed to produce a book, a song, or an artwork. The owner is allowed to do this per the Act. However, you must choose copyright registration if you have requested compensation for having your work forged. How to register a work to claim will be covered in great depth.

What Steps Should I Take to Register My Copyright?

You can register your creative work's copyright in a variety of methods. But first, before we get started. Let's examine the advantages of possessing copyright:

The creator receives public ownership of their original works.

Without giving up their rights, the owner can release their work into the public domain with the aid of copyright. The originality of works that belong to their legitimate owners cannot be contested. Nobody can deny knowing about the owner and his efforts. When the work is done in public, everyone will be aware that no one else can perform it.

Possibility of Ownership

When a creative work is registered within five years of publication, the owner can be assumed to be the author. A presumption of ownership is essential to preventing serious misuse or violation of the work. Furthermore, only the owner may assert ownership if copyright registration is done within five years.

It Facilitates the Work of the Owner to Stand Out in the Crowd

The proprietor might separate from the competition by copywriting the job. Additionally, the owner makes more money. As a result, the owner's work distinguishes itself from that of the rivals and prevents them from abusing their position. 

In order to stop copyright infringement, owners might file a lawsuit.

Section 48 of the Copyright Act allows the owner to sue if they discover that their work has been utilized unlawfully. The owner might further assert his ownership of the work by choosing copyright registration. If the owners possess the copyright, they may bring a claim for copyright infringement and sue the defendants. 

So, the advantages of having a copyright for your work are as follows. As for how to register your work for copyright, follow these steps:

submit a Form 16 application.

The owner must submit Form 16 under the 1957 Copyright Act. They have two options for filing the e-application: in person at the copyright office or online at the official website, http://www.copyright.gov.in. An application fee must be paid. 

Ensure the advocate countersigns the application after attesting it.

To make sure they are genuine and lawful, sign the application and have your advocate countersign it. Additionally, this will guarantee that your application is given top priority. The lawyer's countersignature grants the copyright application legal standing in the eyes of the law. 

The owner will be given a diary number, and they must wait until the examination is over.

Third, the application is reviewed by the judiciary, and the owner is given a diary number for the application. They also have to wait for the process to be finished and approved. 30 days must pass before the owner receives approval. 

The registration process is finished if there is no objection.

If there are no objections and the creative work is approved, the registration process is finished. Additionally, they receive a certificate of copyright registration. The registration is complete after the examiners determine that the creative work's substance is not inappropriate.

Conclusion 

Therefore, it is simple to comprehend and take note of the copyright registration process. Furthermore, understanding how these things operate can be very advantageous to you. More importantly, you can fully comprehend how copyright registration functions by being aware of how it operates.

It's been said, creative ideas are a dime a dozen. If that were so, then why do you need to pilfer mine? The movie character of #Alita does not resemble her drawn manga or anime image - in fact, she uncannily resembles my Majin Lee #originalcharacter that's been around the web for years. If you like my stuff so much why don't you credit or pay the artist instead of infringing my copyright? My original ideas are my greatest asset -but what good is that intrinsic value if I cannot defend my intellectual properties? Little guys with big ideas but without the marketing giants to aid them are vulnerable to idea theft. This is certainly not the first time I've seen blatant 'borrowing' and restructuring of my work, but this one takes the cake. #copyrightinfringement #copyrightlawyer #copyrights #protectcopyrights #intellectualproperty #protectintellectualproperty #ideatheft #arttheft #theft #lawsuit #alita #alitabattleangel #alitamovie https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZsS2nDSp5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gny1iydhso7c

Copyright Ownership Of Abandonware

There are several old versions which companies tend to shift their focus on to the new version of the softwares as they usually find their old version less profitable, and those old versions are termed as “Abandonware”. In common parlance, the term is used to denote older versions of software, which are made available on the internet. However, it is important to note that abandonware can widely vary in its type and so does the copyright implications. Mostly abandoned merchandise are not available in the market i.e. in the public domain but their owners can still impose their copyright on them.

Using copyrighted work without the knowledge of the owner of the copyright is said to have committed a copyright infringement. The US copyright law does not recognize the term abandonware but recognizes the wider concept of “Orphan works” which can be said to be a superset of “abandonware”. There is no concept of fair use under US Copyright laws for use of abandonware and Orphan works. The Library of Congress in 2006 made an exemption to the 17 USC (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to allow hacking of the copy protection on software no longer sold or supported by its copyright holder.However, not all kinds of abandonware are exempted by way of these amendments. This exemption is only extended to games and software that are protected by “dongles” or “distributed in formats that have become obsolete”.

Therefore, simply the answer to the question whether unrestricted use of Abandonware is legal? The answer would be no. Software owners put strict copyright laws over their products to increase profits. If they find any person using their software without the permission of the owners then they could be sued for the suit of infringement. 

In the computer industries, it is an established principle that newer versions of the software made from an older version can be referred to as a derivative work of re existing work in terms of copyright law. The copyright in a derivative computer program extends only to the additions, changes, or other new materials that are included in the program for the first time, and does not imply any exclusive rights in preexisting material taken from prior versions. This interpretation is in line with 17 U.S.C. §103(2) which states that “The copyright in a derivative work extends only to the material contributed by the author of such work, as distinguished from the preexisting material employed in the work, and does not imply any exclusive right in the preexisting material. The copyright in such work is independent of, and does not affect or enlarge the scope, duration, ownership, or subsistence of, any copyright protection in the preexisting material.” Therefore copyright in a newer version of a software/ computer program shall be independent of the copyright in the pre-existing program. This principle/law is a handy mechanism to restrict the copyright enforcement of a software manufacturer on its works by drawing a line between the copyright extended to the pre-existing work and the derivative work.

Another handy mechanism is 17 U.S.C. § 1202 (f) which allows circumventing technological protection measures and reverse engineering of a computer program in order to figure out how to make the program interoperable. In the words of the aforementioned section, “a person who has lawfully obtained the right to use a copy of a computer program may circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a particular portion of that program for the sole purpose of identifying and analyzing those elements of the program that are necessary to achieve interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs, and that have not previously been readily available to the person engaging in the circumvention”. This law can put a bar on strict enforcement of copyrights by software manufacturers by giving users the right to reverse-engineer old-versions of software acquired legally.

Memes: Who Owns the Laughs?

Memes are short animated or still images that are usually edited by anonymous users and thus placed in completely new funny context. On platforms such as 9gag and 4Chan, the Internet jokes spread like wildfire and are popular with the online community. However, we rarely consider the legal difficulties when sharing memes as they are usefully just used light-hearted purposes, but do we have to consider meme copyright? Well sadly no matter how light-hearted the intentions copyright right still matters. So let’s look into those possible complications when sharing and creating memes online.

In 2015 a case made headlines related to memes. Getty Images made a claim of EUR 785.40 to a blog for the use of the meme “Socially Awkward Penguin”. The penguin pictured, waddling is a celebrity in the meme world and is mainly used for short jokes with a twist. According to Getty Images, it has held the rights to the original photography for several years and has demand a license fee from the user for its copyright under the fair use statute. The owners of the German blog, who had used the meme illegally, responded to Getty’s demand by paying the fine and deleted the meme from their site. This case raises some questions for many internet users about meme copyright- was Getty Images right and did the blog’s owners really commit a copyright infringement when they shared the image? And could I also be held accountable and given a large fine if I publish a meme?

One important concept to understand is every meme has a copyright, as a Naperville IL intellectual property lawyer can explain. Only when the image is under a Creative Commons license or in the public domain is this not the case. But are there exceptions for memes whose authors are unknown and whose creations can be found on the Internet a thousand times?

There are some approaches that might well justify the creation of memes in connection with copyright law. Fair Dealing could allow usage however it doesn’t quite cover the use of memes. In order for this to be valid, the picture in question should be necessary as a support for one’s own theses to support a graduate school dissertation. In addition, a still or animated image can only be classified as fair use if the image plays a secondary role in the context.

It is a good idea not to edit and publish memes on your own commercial platform. Even if you do not have to fear a wave of copyright abuse claims, it is still possible. If you are not sure if the picture is public domain or is subject to a Creative Commons license, you run the risk that the published contribution will not be classified as free use by the court. In the worst case, this could result in a considerable fine.
