The Origin and Development of a Moral Rights Regime in India under the Copyright Act, 1957

Abstract

If any deviation, mutilation, alteration or other act is harmful to his dignity or prestige, the author of a work has the right to assert writer of the work and to retrain or claim liability in respect of any distortion, castration, change or other act in order to get the work. Even after the economic rights are given, moral rights are open to the writers. The article addresses the moral rights that are contained in the Copyright Act, 1957, Section 57. The section grants the producers of an artist's concept two rights, which have been explained in the document. Before concluding by talking about the value of these rights, the Manu Bhandari case, which is a landmark judgement in the field of rights, was also discussed.
