By G.R Raghavendra

It gives me immense pleasure to recognize the excellent handbook titled
"Copyright 101 - A Handbook on Copyright For Content Creators and
Owners" authored by Ms Anushree Rauta, Founder, lprmentlaw, Ms
Romika Chawla, Contributor and assisted by: Lokesh Vyas, Contributor, a
collaborative effort of and lprmentlaw, Creative First and FICCI. This hand
book provides a bird's eye view of o the basics of copyright law such as
economic and moral rights, ownership, copyright registration, royalties
under the compulsory and statutory licensing regimes, copyright
infringement and legal remedies and copyright societies including these
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to help content creators and right
owners understand the basics while creating content and monetizing
copyright protected works and distributing such works.

It is very imperative to spread the awareness of the Copyright Act, 1957
and its amendment in 2012 and also the Copyright Rules, 2013 read along
with the amendments brought to the rules in the years 2016 and 2021
respectively in India and elsewhere, by highlighting their bene ts to
content creators and right owners. I believe that this work will de nitely
spread the positive effects of the Copyright Laws in India such as
copyright protection of authors' rights and performers right in the digital
environment as an essential component in fostering human creativity and
innovation.

I appreciate and admire the efforts made by Ms Anushree Rauta and other
contributors in bringing out this excellent handbook on the Copyright laws
which may be useful to every person in the society to spread its positive
effect in India.

I wish the Book and the authors a great future
