Copyright is a bundle of rights given by the law to creators of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and producers of cinematograph films and sound recordings, including, inter alia, rights of reproduction, communication to the public, adaptation and translation of the work. Scope of protection in Copyright Act, 1957 The Copyright Act, 1957 protects original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and cinematograph films and sound recordings from unauthorized uses. Unlike the case with patents, copyright protects the expressions and not the ideas. There is no copyright protection for ideas, procedures, methods of operation or mathematical concepts as such. What is the term for the protection of copyright? The general rule is that copyright lasts for 60 years. In the case of original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works the 60-year period is counted from the year following the death of the author. In the case of cinematograph films, sound recordings, photographs, posthumous publications, anonymous and pseudonymous publications, the 60-year period is counted from the date of publication. Does the law allow any use of a work without permission of the owner of the copyright, and, if so, which are they?
