Copyrights and its International Perspective: Swayam Prabha and its Broadcasting Rights

Author(s) Kalpana M

Abstract Granting exclusive usage rights to the owner through the promotion of creative endeavors is the primary objective of copyright. The Berne Convention of 1886 is identified to be the 1st multilateral convention that provided guidelines on the control of works of copyrights with certain terms and conditions. The main focus of this study is the development of the copyright concept related to SWAYAM Prabha (Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspirants). This study attempts to emphasize the significance of SWAYAM on a national level as well as the extent to which its contents—images, videos, lectures, and so on- are protected internationally. The Ministry of Education's endeavors are emphasized, recognizing its initiative in ensuring that the contents are accessible to students, professionals, and researchers. The significance of the Indian communication satellite GSAT 15, which offers DHT and VSAT services, is also highlighted in this study. The theoretical content of SWYAM at school, undergraduate and postgraduate levels, must be brought under the purview of protection against copyright violations. This paper throws light on the role of INFLIBNET (Information Library Network), the actual copyright holder of SWAYAM. The contents contributed by NPTEL, IITs, UGC, IGNOU, CEC, NIOS, NCERT, IIMB, and INI are usually broadcast through Doordarshan a public television broadcaster owned by the Ministry of Information. This study aims to comprehend the actions that constitute copyright infringement and the accompanying remedies to prevent users from using SWAYAM content in an unethical manner.
