Introduction
Copyright is a protection given to the creators of certain types
of works as an acknowledgment to their intellectual
input1. The objective of copyright has always been the
protection of the interest of a creator, coupled with dissemination
of knowledge. Though this protection started with the recognition
of rights of authors in their books, but modern technology has
substantially changed the nature of work and its mode of
exploitation.
Economic rights allow an owner to reap economic benefits from
his intellectual creations. According to section 14 of the
Copyright Act, 1957, different rights are recognised with respect
to the nature of the work. As per this section, it is the exclusive
right of the owner to do or authorise the doing of the acts
provided thereunder.
