Corporate Entities And Moral Rights
Summary
Corporate entities are not entitled to moral rights under the Copyright Act, 1957, which are reserved for individual authors. Section 57 of the Act grants these rights, such as the right to claim authorship and protect works from distortion, exclusively to individuals. The Amarnath Sehgal v. Union of India (2005) case supports this, focusing on the moral rights of an individual artist. The Delhi High Courts decision, particularly in paragraphs 19 to 22, emphasizes that these rights do not extend to corporate entities.Full Conversation
