ABSTRACT
Copyright, being one of the significant Licensed innovation freedoms (IPR), safeguards the privileges of makers of imaginative works, artistic works, sound, films and related manifestations. This right grants the creator authority over their own creation to investigate the potential benefits of its use by others.
New concepts, images, sounds, scripts, and a variety of other means of communication are utilized on media platforms, including social media, for professional, commercial, and personal purposes.
Media outlets faces the most veritable and gravest of troubles introduced by robbery. Even though illegally reproducing and disseminating motion pictures, music, and other media is not a new phenomenon but rather a recent development, the gravity of the problem has increased to such an extent in recent years that it threatens the entire industry.
Innovation and replication advancements have made it relatively simple for even novices to produce duplicates, which are typically authentically produced and promoted by the business. Because of piracy, which both illegally benefits the pirate and cheats the state of collectiveness through multiple levels of production and sale, copyright owners lose money from royalties. The music and film industry are the most prejudiced, despite the significance of the aforementioned consequences. This paper examines the legal dimension of copyright in the entertainment industry.
