About the Webinar
It has been 8 years since the 2012 Amendment (âThe Amendmentâ) to The Copyright Act 1957 (âThe Actâ). Authors of works incorporated in sound recordings and cinematograph films had faced multiple issues in receipt of payments for contributions made by them. These problems were inherent in the drafting of the Chapter in The Act on Copyright Societies for instance, which leaned on the side of owners. The Indian Performing Right Society Limited (âIPRSâ) had struggled for fair treatment of its authors for decades. Incidents of non-payments and the anguish of authors were bleak reminders that all was not well among the two major payment collectors & distributors in the Indian Copyright Circuit â IPRS and Phonographic Performance Limited (âPPLâ). Works incorporated in sound recordings were not being given their worth in monetary terms.
Topic
Author’s Remuneration from Sound Recordings: 8 Years after the 2012 Amendment to The Copyright Act, 1957
