Literature/Dramatic Copyright

Overview
Why Taxcomate
Process

Copyright protects original literary works. Any work by the author must be original at every level and not adapted or copied. Moving on, if two people have produced similar works in a particular field, the copyright will be given to both of them for their works. In recent times, when the internet is flooded with information and it is easier to access various works, the original work’s literary works are protected by the act. Else, in the name of research, authors seeking easier routes tend to plagiarize. It is this act that discourages them from doing so and rewards the original work by protecting them at every level. On the other hand, dramatic copyright protects original dramatic work and in some cases its adaptations also. The act also endeavors to protect recitations, choreography, and entertainment shows. However, it must be noted that cinematograph films do not come under the ambit of this act.
