PHOTOCOPYING OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL IN LIGHT OF THE DELHI UNIVERSITY PHOTOCOPY CASE
Downloads
Abstract
The primary theme of this article is to examine the decision given by the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court in the Delhi University Photocopy case. Presently, the dispute between fair dealing and the rival stakes of the copyright holders has become even more vigorous because of the controversy that has been created as a result of the legal action taken by three prominent publishers against a photocopy shop located at the core of the Delhi University. The article analyses the Indian position with regard to photocopying of copyrighted works for educational purposes in light of the decision given in the abovementioned case. The article will also demonstrate how the Court has erred in its judgment and how the same would deprive the publishers of the revenues which they would otherwise be entitled to obtain.
