Legal Issues With Respect To Online File Sharing And Copyright
By Shivam Narayan Pandey, School of Law, Bennett University.*
Abstract
The core element of copyright is that persons who produce such intellectual work should be able to support themselves through their talent and labour and that innovation must be recognised. Owners are given control over and a share of the money made from the commercial exploitation of their works pursuant to copyright protection. Copyright comes into being as soon as the work is produced since it is about safeguarding "original expression." Intangible forms of expression that can be viewed, reproduced, or otherwise communicated either directly or with the aid of a computer or mechanism are protected by copyright as "original authors of workship."
