I want to put some music on an mp3 player I’m going to get. But I’m not sure of something: Is it just the new ones that you use download managers like iTunes to put music on there? I have some old music I want to put on an mp3 player, but am not sure which mp3 player to get, one with a screen (which generally use download managers) or without a screen. The music most likely doesn’t have a piracy protector on it, so it could possibly not let me transfer songs or get me into trouble. I also have some songs I ripped from a CD I once had, but have now lost (which is why I ripped the songs, in case I lost the CD, which happens to me quite a bit). The CD was from 2004-05, somewhere around there. Can am I going to be able to put those on there too? Thanks in advance!

How to sell this on Ebay without copyright infringement?
I enjoy a popular series of vampire themed novels (not Twilight). I have created handmade jewelry that goes along with the book’s theme and would like to sell the pieces on Ebay. The pieces are original, not copied designs from any other person. I created them because I wanted to buy something like this and figure other fans would too. How do I list them safely, without risk of copyright or other similar infringement laws being broken? Thanks for any advice.

The Copyright Act, 957 protects the India copyright law which seeks to offer services in the registration of copyrights in India. The main objective of the copyright law is to encourage artists, authors and composers to create innovative and original work by appreciating and rewarding them with exclusive rights for a given period to reproduce the work for commercial exploitation. Copyright is the right offered by the copyright registration services India by law to every creator of literary, musical, dramatic and artistic creators and even to producers of sound recordings and cinematography films. It is in fact a bunch of rights that include rights of reproduction, inter alia, communication to the public and translation and adaptation of the work. However there can be slight variations in the overall composition of right according to the work in which case it is best to seek help from professional and best lawyers in India. Therefore make sure you approach the best Indian lawyer who can help you with the process of copyright registration India. Copyright is the legal protection right offered to the creator of original artistic or literary work. The India copyright law differs according to the class of work and the law even subsists in abridgements, translations and compilations of works. Copyright registration in India is generally voluntary. This law exists right after the work is created and registered. Under the India copyright law, registration of work is not required either to acquire copyright or enforce in the infringement action.

The process for filing copyright application in India is however a bit complicated and includes a lot of expertise to get the work done faster. This therefore means that for proper copyrights filing India it is important to gain help from professional and authorized copyright attorneys India.
Why does the media report that PIRATES are STEALING MUSIC, when in fact it is copyright infringement?
I think the music companies and / or the media are trying to demonize their own customers. In legal terms, what has murder and robbery on the high seas (ie Piracy) got to do with copyright infringement? I think a high court judge would agree that someone found guilty of downloading copyrighted material from the internet would get in trouble for copyright infrindgement… but not theft. Watch out the little © will report you to record compnies for being a pirate ! Eye Eye me harties…

On Friday, May 30th 2008 Hon’ble Delhi High Court issued notice to Yahoo Inc. and its Indian subsidiary Yahoo Web Services (India) Pvt. Ltd on a suit filed by Super Cassettes Industries Limited (SCIL) owner of the largest Indian music label “T-Series” for infringement of their copyright caused by unlicensed streaming of SCIL’s copyright works on Yahoo’s portal www.video.yahoo.com['Website']. Early this year a number of music videos whereof the copyright and publishing rights are owned and controlled by T-Series were located on Yahoo’s Website. A cease and desist notice was sent to Yahoo along with a sample list of infringing works and they were asked to remove all the contents that were owned by T-Series. In response to the legal notice, Yahoo Inc. reverted with their standard reply taking refuge under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) an American Law and asked T-Series to notify Yahoo in accordance with DMCA. In March end this year another reminder notices were sent to both Yahoo Inc and Yahoo India pointing out that the contents that were pointed out earlier were still not removed despite a legal notice and also additional contents were located on Yahoo copyright of which is owned by T-Series. An additional list of infringing material was sent to Yahoo. However, Yahoo chose to ignore and did not comply with the notices. T-Series was then compelled to move the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi to protect its copyright. Alongwith issuing notice to Yahoo, Hon’ble High Court also passed an interim-injuction against Yahoo and specifically ordered that Yahoo, its officers, agents, servants and representatives are restrained from reproducing, adapting, distributing or transmitting in any manner on their website www.video.yahoo.com or otherwise infringing in any manner the [copyright of T-Series in films and songs and underlying copyright works without obtaining an appropriate license from T-Series. Unlicensed streaming/hosting of copyright works by sharing websites have become a menace and causing rank infringement of copyrigh works. Last year T-Series had filed a case against YouTube.com and its parent company Google Inc. for similar infringement. T-series was also successful in obtaining an interim restraint against YouTube and Google. While the case for Google is coming up for hearing in July, the Yahoo case has been posted for end September.
