We see people grooving to famous songs the moment we enter a club. Without such songs, every party or event seems incomplete. However, are you aware that before playing the famous songs publicly, you need to have all the permissions in place from the makers of such songs? If you fail to do so, you shall end up finding yourself in big trouble like Copyright Infringement. Here in this article, we shall be thoroughly discussing Copyright Protection in the Indian music industry. We shall answer a few questions, including:

How is copyright protection applicable to the music industry?

How can you save yourself from receiving a copyright claim?

Are there provisions in the Indian Copyright Act allowing remixing an old song to a new song?

The term ‘copyright’ combines two words, copy and right; therefore, we can also say that copyright refers to the legitimate and exclusive rights of the individual or entity owning the creative Intellectual Property (IP) assets.

Ian Richard Hargreaves CBE, Emeritus Professor at Cardiff University, Wales, the United Kingdom, has stated that the copyright system can’t be considered appropriate for the present digital age as millions of individuals infringe upon the creative works of others on an everyday basis by simply switching video or audio files from one device to another.

Copyright protection in the music industry gives the producers exclusive legal ownership of creative musical works and recordings. It also includes the exclusive right to distribute, reproduce, and license the copyrighted work to obtain royalties. Kindly note that when lyrics and music are recorded, written on paper, or otherwise placed in a document, the copyright in the creative work is automatically created. The United States Copyright Office has mentioned that once a sound is captured, implying that it must be recorded on a medium that could be sensed, copied, or otherwise transmitted, the master recording is copyright protected in digital tracks, tapes, optical disks, or any other format. However, it is highly advisable to go ahead with copyright registration of your song or musical work. To do the same, you need to ensure that it is tangible, fill out the required copyright application form at the copyright office, and pay the prescribed fee.

Musical Works under the Indian Copyright Act of 1957

Under Section 2(P) of the Indian Copyright Act of 1957 (referred to as Act further in this article), a musical work is defined and is said to include works composed of music containing graphic symbols. An original song is formalized, decorated, modified, and transferred to the original work’s category. You can use sounds to create new musical works by mixing, adding, and deleting some specific aspects of the original song. In India, Bollywood movie songs are loved by everyone. We have listened to the legendary 90s Dheere Dheere Se Meri Zindagi Mein Aana, featuring Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal, and its remake by Yo Yo Honey Singh. The question that now arises is whether it is legitimate to exploit an artist’s original creative work in this way? In this scenario, the new music or remix is created using audio mixing and adding and subtracting some aspects of the original song.

As per Section 52(1)(j) of the Act, certain uses and modifications of creative works, including sound recordings and music, require obtaining the owner’s consent. It talks about obtaining a legal license to use a copyrighted work in a specific way, provided that the individual or entity (i.e., the licensee) pays the required fee and complies well with the law.

In the case of Gramophone Co v. Super Cassettes, the court held that obtaining the permission of the original owner to use a piece of his creative musical work is necessary. However, in Gramophone Co v. Mars, the court had the opposite opinion. It held that as long as the requirements of Section 52(1)(j) are followed, there might be no instance of copyright infringement and no necessity to obtain the owner’s consent (consent requirement is only for the first recording).

The whole world of music copyright law is undoubtedly complicated; however, it is not that tough to safeguard a piece of musical work and obtain royalties for it. You only need to register your copyright, join the necessary debt collection agency, and pick a distributor. Don’t forget that registering your copyright shall protect your creative work and prevent theft, misuse, and infringement. ✅ For more visit: https://www.kashishipr.com/

Author here. Meaning the real author, the living human holding the pencil, not some abstract narrative persona. Granted, there sometimes is such a persona in The Pale King, but that’s mainly a pro forma statutory construct, an entity that exists just for legal and commercial purposes, rather like a corporation; it has no direct, provable connection to me as a person. But this right here is me as a real person, David Wallace, age forty, SS no. 975-04-2012,1 addressing you from my Form 8829–deductible home office at 725 Indian Hill Blvd., Claremont 91711 CA, on this fifth day of spring, 2005, to inform you of the following:

All of this is true. This book is really true.

I obviously need to explain. First, please flip back and look at the book’s legal disclaimer, which is on the copyright page, verso side, four leaves in from the rather unfortunate and misleading front cover. The disclaimer is the unindented chunk that starts: ‘The characters and events in this book are fictitious.’ I’m aware that ordinary citizens almost never read disclaimers like this, the same way we don’t bother to look at copyright claims or Library of Congress specs or any of the dull pro forma boilerplate on sales contracts and ads that everyone knows is there just for legal reasons. But now I need you to read it, the disclaimer, and to understand that its initial ‘The characters and events in this book…’ includes this very Author’s Foreword. In other words, this Foreword is defined by the disclaimer as itself fictional, meaning that it lies within the area of special legal protection established by that disclaimer. I need this legal protection in order to inform you that what follows2 is, in reality, not fiction at all, but substantially true and accurate. That —The Pale King is, in point of fact, more like a memoir than any kind of made-up story.

This might appear to set up an irksome paradox. The book’s legal disclaimer defines everything that follows it as fiction, including this Foreword, but now here in this Foreword I’m saying that the whole thing is really nonfiction; so if you believe one you can’t believe the other, & c., & c. Please know that I find these sorts of cute, self-referential paradoxes irksome, too—at least now that I’m over thirty I do—and that the very last thing this book is is some kind of clever metafictional titty-pincher. That’s why I’m making it a point to violate protocol and address you here directly, as my real self; that’s why all the specific identifying data about me as a real person got laid out at the start of this Foreword. So that I could inform you of the truth: The only bona fide ‘fiction’ here is the copyright page’s disclaimer—which, again, is a legal device: The disclaimer’s whole and only purpose is to protect me, the book’s publisher, and the publisher’s assigned distributors from legal liability. The reason why such protections are especially required here—why, in fact, the publisher3 has insisted upon them as a precondition for acceptance of the manuscript and payment of the advance—is the same reason the disclaimer is, when you come right down to it, a lie.4

–The Pale King, David Foster Wallace

The Red Circle

Published in 1911 as a two-parter, this is the penultimate story we'll be covering His Last Bow, leaving just the titular story there.

This does sound rather like "The Veiled Lodger", doesn't it?

These days, you'd have to check the immigration status of your tenants. In 1902, really not an issue. Although anti-immigrant sentiment was definitely there and growing.

Those strange coded personal messages - some even encrypted - very much existed in newspapers back then. Once radio had become a thing, the British would use them on radio broadcasts to Occupied Europe in the Second World to get messages to the resistance movements. Including the "get ready" and "go" codes for the mass sabotage operations that preceded Operation Overlord in 1944.

"Timekeepers" were used for recording arrivals and departures at a site, including that of staff for the purposes of paying wages, determining lateness etc.

Great Orme Street is more properly called Great Ormond Street, located in Bloomsbury. It is best known for the world-famous children's hospital called Great Ormond Street Hospital. They have a permanent UK copyright to Peter Pan which gives them a right to royalties for publications, adaptations, performances etc. The US copyright on the original version expires next year. If anyone wants to do a LfW retelling of the original book, it would be nice to contact them and arrange a donation. They're a very good organisation.

"Art for Art’s sake" was a French slogan from the latter half of the 19th century. You may know its Latin version - ars gratia artis - as the motto of film studio MGM.

The light flashing message gets a whole chapter covering it in Klinger's annotated version, as it's been heavily discussed by scholars. Basically, it would take multiple minutes to send that message.

The Pinkerton detective agency did a lot of investigative work in its early days, both criminal investigation and more nefarious stuff to aid strike-breaking. The latter got the US government banned from hiring them as such in the 1893 Anti-Pinkerton Act. They are still involved in anti-union stuff today.

Much of Notting Hill had become increasingly slum-like by this time as an influx of people led to houses built for one family being split to hold far more; the idea when the area was built was for the middle classes to live there, but they didn't buy the properties. It later attract large numbers of Afro-Caribbean immigrants in the post-war era, partly as the notorious slum landlord Peter Rachman was prepared to rent to them while others weren't. This growing ethnic tension culiminated race riots in 1958, with white "Teddy Boys" attacking West Indian homes. Since then, the slums have been cleared and the area has gentrified quite a bit.

It is also home to the annual Notting Hall carnival every August since 1965 (bar 2020 and 2021), which around 2 million people attend. The Metropolitan Police have moved from active hostility to active cooperation in its running and there will be photos of officers dancing with those in the parade at any given carnival. The reputation for violence is unjustified and arguably fuelled by racism - while there were frequently arrests for violence, drugs and weapons offences, on a pro-rata basis, the arrest rate is about the same as the Glastonbury Festival.

The Carbonari ("charcoal makers") were secret revolutionary societies active in what would become Italy in the early 19th century. After failed uprisings in 1831, the various Italian governments cracked down hard on them and they were effectively eliminated. They were not really engaged in protection rackets.

Dynamite was patented by Alfred Nobel in 1867. Being a good deal more stable than nitrogyclerine - although storage is important as old dynamite is a good deal less stable - it became popular for terrorists and criminals, with a series of bombings by Irish republicans between 1881 and 1885 leading to the formation of Special Branch.

Covent Garden is home to the Royal Opera House.

Safeguarding Your Digital Content: The Importance of Copyright Registration in Delhi

As a seasoned writer and content creator, I understand the importance of protecting your intellectual property in the digital age. In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the significance of copyright registration in Delhi and how it can safeguard your digital content.

Introduction to Copyright Registration in Delhi

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, where content is easily accessible and shareable, it is crucial to ensure that your original work is protected from unauthorized use or exploitation. Copyright registration in Delhi serves as a legal mechanism to establish your ownership and exclusive rights over your digital content, such as articles, blog posts, images, videos, and more.

Why is Copyright Registration Important for Safeguarding Your Digital Content?

Copyright registration in Delhi offers several key benefits for protecting your digital content:

Legal Recognition and Proof of Ownership: By registering your copyright, you create a legal record of your ownership and the date of creation, which can serve as evidence in the event of a dispute or infringement.

Enhanced Legal Remedies: Registered copyrights provide you with stronger legal standing and access to a wider range of remedies, including the ability to seek statutory damages and attorney's fees in copyright infringement cases.

Deterrence Against Infringement: The presence of a registered copyright can act as a deterrent, discouraging potential infringers from using your content without permission.

Ability to Enforce Your Rights: With a registered copyright, you have the legal standing to take action against any unauthorized use of your digital content, including the ability to seek injunctions, damages, and other legal remedies.

Increased Licensing and Monetization Opportunities: A registered copyright can make your digital content more valuable and attractive to potential licensees or buyers, as it provides them with the assurance of your legal ownership and the ability to use the content without risk of infringement.

Understanding the Process of Copyright Registration in Delhi

The process of copyright registration in Delhi involves several steps:

Identifying the Copyrightable Work: Determine the specific digital content you wish to register, such as articles, blog posts, images, videos, or software code.

Completing the Copyright Registration Application: Fill out the necessary application forms, either online or through a physical submission, providing details about the work, the author, and the rights you wish to claim.

Submitting the Required Documents: Depending on the type of digital content, you may need to submit copies or samples of the work, along with any additional supporting documentation.

Payment of the Registration Fee: The copyright registration process in Delhi requires the payment of a fee, which can be done through various payment methods.

Processing and Issuance of the Copyright Certificate: Once the application is processed, the Indian Copyright Office will issue a copyright registration certificate, which serves as official proof of your ownership and rights.

Benefits of Online Copyright Registration in Delhi

In recent years, the Indian Copyright Office has introduced an online copyright registration in Delhi, which offers several advantages:

Convenience: The online registration process allows you to complete the entire application and submission process from the comfort of your device, saving time and effort.

Faster Processing: Online copyright registration in Delhi often leads to faster processing times compared to traditional physical submissions.

Reduced Paperwork: The digital nature of the online system minimizes the need for physical documentation, making the overall process more efficient.

Tracking and Status Updates: The online platform provides you with the ability to track the status of your copyright registration application and receive updates on its progress.

Enhanced Security: The digital infrastructure of the online system ensures a higher level of security and protection for your sensitive information and intellectual property.

How to Choose a Reliable Copyright Registration Consultant in Delhi

If you prefer to have professional assistance with the copyright registration process, it is essential to choose a reliable and experienced consultant in Delhi. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a copyright registration consultant in Delhi:

Expertise and Track Record: Look for a consultant with a proven track record of successfully handling copyright registration cases in Delhi, with a deep understanding of the applicable laws and regulations.

Transparent Pricing and Services: Ensure that the consultant provides clear and transparent information about their pricing structure and the specific services they offer, without any hidden fees or surprises.

Responsiveness and Communication: A good copyright registration consultant should be readily available to answer your questions, provide updates on the status of your application, and maintain open communication throughout the process.

Client Testimonials and Reviews: Seek out client testimonials and reviews to gauge the consultant's level of professionalism, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

Compliance with Legal Requirements: Verify that the consultant is fully compliant with all the legal requirements and guidelines set forth by the Indian Copyright Office for copyright registration in Delhi.

The Role of Copyright Registration Lawyers in Delhi

While a copyright registration consultant can be helpful, in some cases, you may benefit from the expertise of a specialized copyright registration lawyer in Delhi. These legal professionals can provide invaluable guidance and representation in the following scenarios:

Complex or Disputed Copyright Claims: If your digital content is subject to complex ownership issues or potential disputes, a copyright registration lawyer can help navigate the legal complexities and ensure your rights are protected.

Copyright Infringement Cases: In the event of copyright infringement, a lawyer can assist you in taking legal action, representing your interests, and seeking appropriate remedies.

Common Misconceptions about Copyright Registration in Delhi

Despite the importance of copyright registration, several common misconceptions often hinder individuals and businesses from taking the necessary steps to protect their digital content:

"My Content is Already Protected Without Registration": While copyright protection arises automatically upon the creation of original work, registration provides additional legal benefits and strengthens your ability to enforce your rights.

"Copyright Registration is a Complex and Lengthy Process": The introduction of the online copyright registration system in Delhi has significantly streamlined the process, making it more accessible and efficient.

"Copyright Registration is Expensive": The registration fees for copyright in Delhi are relatively affordable, especially when compared to the potential costs of copyright infringement and legal disputes.

"I Don't Need to Register My Content if It's Not Commercially Valuable": Even if your digital content is not generating revenue, it is still important to register your copyright to establish your legal ownership and rights.

"Copyright Registration is Only Necessary for Large Businesses": Copyright protection is equally crucial for individuals, freelancers, and small businesses that create and publish digital content.

Copyright Infringement Cases in Delhi and Their Outcomes

Unfortunately, copyright infringement is a widespread issue in the digital landscape, and Delhi is no exception. Let's explore a few notable copyright infringement cases in Delhi and their outcomes:

The Case of the Copied Blog Posts: In a high-profile case, a popular blogger in Delhi successfully sued a local news website for reproducing several of their blog posts without permission. The court awarded the blogger substantial damages and issued an injunction to prevent further unauthorized use of the content.

The Dispute over Viral Social Media Images: A Delhi-based photographer took legal action against an e-commerce platform that had used their images without credit or compensation. The court ruled in favor of the photographer, ordering the platform to pay damages and implement measures to prevent future infringement.

The Battle Over Unauthorized Software Code: A Delhi-based software development company filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against a competitor who had allegedly copied and used their proprietary code. The court's decision upheld the software company's copyright and awarded them damages and legal fees.

These cases illustrate the importance of copyright registration in Delhi and the legal remedies available to content creators who have taken the necessary steps to protect their intellectual property.

Tips for Protecting Your Digital Content Without Copyright Registration

While copyright registration in Delhi is highly recommended, there are some steps you can take to safeguard your digital content even without a registered copyright:

Identify Your Content as Copyrighted: Include a copyright notice (e.g., "© 2023 Your Name. All rights reserved.") on your digital content to inform others of your ownership and rights.

Implement Digital Rights Management (DRM) Measures: Utilize DRM tools and technologies to control access and prevent unauthorized use or distribution of your digital content.

Monitor and Regularly Search for Unauthorized Use: Actively monitor the internet for any instances of your digital content being used without your permission, and be prepared to take swift action.

Send cease Letters: If you discover unauthorized use of your digital content, consider sending a formal cease and desist letter to the infringer, demanding the immediate removal or discontinuation of the infringing activity.

Leverage Social Media and Online Platforms: Utilize the reporting and takedown mechanisms provided by social media platforms and online content-sharing sites to address any copyright infringement issues.

Remember, while these measures can help protect your digital content, they may not provide the same level of legal protection and enforcement options as a registered copyright in Delhi.

Conclusion: The Necessity of Copyright Registration for Safeguarding Your Digital Content

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, the importance of copyright registration in Delhi cannot be overstated. By registering your digital content, you establish legal ownership, enhance your ability to enforce your rights, and deter potential infringers from unauthorized use. Whether you're an individual content creator, a freelancer, or a business, protecting your intellectual property should be a top priority.

Who invented E-Mail?

V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai.

In 1978, a 14-year-old named V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai developed a computer program, which replicated the features of the interoffice, inter-organizational paper mail system. He named his program “EMAIL”. Shiva filed an application for copyright in his program and in 1982 the United States Copyright Office issued a Certificate of Registration, No. TXu-111-775, to him on the program. 

In the summer of 1978, Shiva had been recruited for programming assignments at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in Newark, New Jersey. One of his supervisors, Dr. Leslie P. Michelson, recognized his abilities and challenged him to translate the conventional paper-based interoffice and inter-organizational communication system (i.e., paper-based mail and memoranda) to an electronic communication system.
