Discussion
Read the following statements and choose the correct option.
Under the Copyright Act, 1957 :
Statement I : In the case of a posthumous literary work, copyright subsists for sixty years from the beginning of the calendar year next following the year in which the work is first published.
Statement II : For such works, publication refers to making the work available to the public by issue of copies or by communication to the public.
Answer: C
Both Statements I and II are true.
Section 24 of the Copyright Act, 1957 provides that in a literary, dramatic or musical work published after the author's death, copyright subsists for sixty years from the beginning of the calendar year next following the year in which the work is first published. That is Statement I.
Section 3 explains 'publication' as making a work available to the public by issue of copies or by communicating the work to the public, which is Statement II. The two statements describe different parts of the same scheme, so options treating either as false are wrong.
