Copyright- Guide for Indian Libraries

Copyright_Digital Copy_09082021

“Copyright” connotes the bundle of “exclusive rights” (subject to certain exceptions as defined in copyright law) that the law confers on the owners of the copyright. Copyright is purely a statutory right i.e., there is no copyright except to the extent provided by statute, namely (in India) the Copyright Act, 1957 (the “Act”) which has been amended several times, most recently in 2012. The Copyright Rules, 2013 provide for certain procedural matters.

The Rights granted to a Copyright owner are 1. Economic Rights, 2. Moral Rights (Author’s Special Rights) 5 In our Act, as in the laws of many other countries, economic rights are designated as “copyright” and moral rights are treated as a separate right. “Economic Rights” allow the copyright owner to gain monetary benefits from the work. There are mainly two ways for the owner to gain monetary benefits First, the copyright owner has the option of granting licenses which permit others to use the copyright material. These licenses are mostly non-exclusive (i.e do not prevent the licensor from licensing the same rights to others) and do not involve transfer of ownership or title (sec.30). For instance, radio channels acquire licenses from the copyright owner to play their music on the radio. Second, is the right to sell the ownership of copyright. The ownership of copyright is transferable by “assignment.” The transfer should be done in writing and must also identify the specific rights assigned while mentioning the period and territory. “Moral rights” of an author, named “author’s special rights” in India’s Copyright Act: these comprises two rights generally known (though the Act does not use these terms,) as the “Right of Paternity”, and “Right of Integrity”. The “Right of Paternity” refers to the right of an author to claim authorship of the work and the right to prevent all others from claiming authorship of his work. Moral rights also seek to protect the integrity of a work and the author’s connection with it. The author can seek legal remedies in a Court for infringement of his right to restrain or claim damages in respect of any distortion, mutilation, modification or other acts in relation to the work, if such distortion, mutilation, modification or other acts would be prejudicial to his honour or reputation. 6 Unlike, economic rights, moral rights in India and several other countries are perpetual (capable of being exercised by the author’s legal representative after the author’s death) and not subject to any limited term. Further, by their very nature moral rights cannot be transferred, though it is possible (except in a few countries) to waive them.

1. Introduction to Copyright

• Definition: Legal protection for creators of literary, artistic, musical, and digital works.

• Purpose: Balance between creators’ rights and public access.

• Importance for librarians: Managing access, reproduction, and dissemination.

2. Core Principles

• Economic rights: Reproduction, distribution, performance, communication, adaptation.

• Moral rights: Attribution, integrity of the work.

• Duration: Generally, 60 years after author’s death (India).

3. Key Terms

• Exclusive license vs. non-exclusive license.

• Derivative works (adaptations, sequels).

• Exhaustion principle (first sale doctrine).

• Fixation: Work must be embodied in a tangible medium.

4. Fair Use vs Fair Dealing

• Fair dealing in India: Research, criticism, review, reporting, teaching.

• Fair use (U.S.): Broader, case-based interpretation.

• Librarians must ensure copying falls under exceptions.

5. Library Entitlements

• Permitted: Preservation, archiving, classroom use, research copies.

• Restricted: Mass photocopying, unauthorized digital distribution.

• Licensing: Copyright societies manage permissions.

6. Infringement Examples

• Photocopying entire books.

• Scanning and emailing copyrighted works.

• Unauthorized digital uploads.

7. How to Avoid Infringement

• Obtain licenses.

• Use open-access or Creative Commons resources.

• Rely on statutory exceptions (fair dealing).

8. Digital Age Challenges

• E-books, databases, streaming content.

• DRM (Digital Rights Management).

• Librarians as gatekeepers of ethical access.

9. International Perspective

• India follows Berne Convention, TRIPS Agreement.

• Global harmonization of copyright standards.

• Differences in U.S. vs Indian law.

10. Practical Guidelines for Librarians

• Maintain copyright compliance logs.

• Train staff and students on fair use.

• Copyright Policy Template
