Abstract

For decades, the Indian movie industry has derived tunes from Western proprietary works and created unauthorized derivatives. Because the music industries within the United States started taking notice of this infringement of copyright, thus too did Indian music administrators as domestic infringers profited from repeating. Despite the existence of an enacted copyright statute in India, and also the nation's membership with numerous international property treaties and conventions, enforcement continues to be poor. This lack of protection permits rampant violations of copyright in the area of Music. This text proposes that India should improve its copyright enforcement regime, reprimand infringers, and work with the United States or other developed nations to foster creative and protective atmosphere for domestic and foreign proprietary works.
