Copyright Enforcement
If a person produces a work or any part of it without being authorized by the
copyright owner to do so, he is said to have infringed the copyright.
Tests to determine infringement as laid down by the
Supreme Court
There can be no copyright in an idea, subject matter, themes, plots or historical
or legendry facts and violation of the copyright in such cases is confined to the
form, manner and arrangement and expression of the idea by the author of the
copyrighted work.
Where same ideas are being developed in a different manner, it is manifest that
the source being common, similarities are bound to occur. In this case the court
should determine whether or not the similarities are on substantial aspects of the
mode of expression adopted in the copyrighted work.

18. Chapter 3
To see if the reader, spectator or the viewer after having read or seen
both the works is clearly of the opinion that the subsequent work
appears to be a copy of the original.
When the theme is the same but is presented and treated differently so
that the subsequent work becomes a completely new work, no question
of violation of copyright arises.
Apart from similarities appearing in the two works there are also
material and broad dissimilarities which negate the intension to copy
the original, no infringement of the copyright comes into existence.
As a violation of copyright amounts to an act of piracy, it must be
proved by clear evidence after applying the various tests laid down by
the case law.

19. Chapter 3
If a viewer after seeing a film gets a totality of
impression that the film is by and large a copy of the
original play, violation of the copyright may be said to
be proved.
There are a lot of statutory exceptions provided to
infringement in Section 52, the basic purpose of
which is to protect public interest and to encourage
the use of all things for academic or other similar
purposes.
There are three types of remedies against
infringement of copyright : Civil, Criminal and
Administrative.
20. Chapter 3
Civil Remedies
If the defendant proves that at the date of the infringement he
was not aware and had no reasonable ground for believing the
copyright subsisted in the work, the plaintiff shall not be entitled
to any remedy other than an injunction in respect on
infringement.
The court may grant authority along with his advocate to enter
the defendant’s premises and inspect for any infringement and
remove such copies for safe custody without even letting the
defendant know about this order, in order to prevent any
destruction of the infringing copies.
The period with which a suit may be filed is three years from the
date of infringement otherwise the claim will become time
barred.
A suit may be filed at a place where the cause of action arises.
21. Chapter 3
Criminal Remedies
Any infringement is punishable with a term ranging
between 7 days to 3 years and a fine of Rs.50,000/-
to Rs.2,00,000/-
Enhanced punishment is provided for second and
subsequent convictions and the minimum sentence is
1 year and minimum fine is Rs.1,00,000/-.
In case of an offence committed by a company, the
company as well as the person who at the time of the
offence responsible for the business of the company
shall be deemed to be guilty of such offence.
