Detailed explanation-1: -The Copyright Act, 1957 protects original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and cinematograph films and sound recordings from unauthorized uses. Unlike the case with patents, copyright protects the expressions and not the ideas. There is no copyright in an idea.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Copyright Act, 1957 provides for certain exceptions to infringement of copyright, under Section 52. The provision permits limited use of copyright material without the owner’s authorization.
Detailed explanation-3: -Section 51 prescribes that copyright is infringed inter alia when any person does anything exclusive right to do which has been conferred by the Act on the owner of copyright. It follows, if there is no exclusive right, there is no infringement. Section 52 lists the acts which do not constitute infringement.
