Introduction
Computer instructions that tell the computer how to work is
software. Software is an extremely sensitive creation for the
creator. Software is at risk at every stage of its construction.
There is a risk of the creation getting stolen, hacked or leaked.
Once such a calamity happens the creation is compromised. The
drawbacks of a software getting stolen , hacked or leaked can lead
to a creators loss of revenue, loss of idea or even loss of ones
business model in entirety . Within no time of its getting stolen ,
it could be multiplied 10 folds and the creation no longer remains
unique.
However, imagine if you could stop the above by providing
adequate protection to your creation and in return for your simple
effort, enjoy uninterrupted branding and popularity in the market
perpetually. Is "Legal Protection" in India that concrete
or are there ways to circumvent the same. Does one need to combine
legal regime and technological methods to protect software.
