AUTHOR –NISHA KUMAWAT, STUDENT AT NATIONAL LAW INSTITUTE UNIVERSITY, BHOPAL

BEST CITATION – NISHA KUMAWAT, COMPETITION LAW AND COPYRIGHT CHALLENGES IN THE INDIAN ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 4 (2) OF 2024, PG. 273-282, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344.

ABSTRACT

The Indian Media and Entertainment industries, especially the Film industry, is frequently under the scrutiny of competition authorities since copyright issues are intrinsically related to anti-competitive conduct in the industry. The majority of instances result from film associations exercising significant control over the industry’s operations by participating in coordinated activities against third parties that are anti-competitive in nature. Just as crucial is the investigation of anti-competitive behavior by industry stakeholders, such as entering into restrictive agreements and exploiting their dominating position. The study looks at how the requirements of Copyright and Competition Laws affect the general operation of the field of entertainment, particularly the film industry, as well as the interactions between various stakeholders.

Furthermore, the purposes of copyright law do not intrinsically clash with the goals of competition law, as both systems may take various paths to achieve the same goal of maximizing consumer welfare and efficient resource distribution. However, the Competition Commission of India is frequently confronted with cultural and linguistic issues that necessitate the development of clear rules based on careful consideration of the application of Competition Law to disputes in the entertainment industry.

Introduction

The principle of separation of powers is a fundamental element in the complex framework of democratic governance, as it maintains a delicate balance between the several branches of government. This basic idea, which has its roots in the political theories of Montesquieu and other influential figures, protects against despotism and advances the checks and balances necessary for a healthy democracy. The dynamics of this principle are always being examined, adjusted, and interpreted as civilizations change and encounter new difficulties. The concept of separation of powers is not just an academic concept; rather, it is an enduring idea that influences how governments around the world operate. The division of power between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches affects decision-making procedures, policy results, and ultimately the preservation of individual liberty in settings ranging from legislative assembly halls to courtrooms and executive offices. This study paper sets out to investigate the complex dynamics of the division of powers in government. By utilizing a multidisciplinary approach that includes legal studies, political science, and historical study, we aim to decipher the nuances that are present in this principle. We hope to provide light on the difficulties and achievements found in the application of separation of powers by exploring case studies from different nations and analyzing how it has changed over time. Research holds great importance not only for theoretical discussions but also for the safeguarding of fundamental rights and the operation of democracies. In an era characterized by swift globalization, technical breakthroughs, and evolving geopolitical environments, comprehending the subtleties of power division becomes crucial for guaranteeing the durability and authenticity of democratic establishments. This project aims to add to the ongoing discussion about governance structures and how they affect societal advancement through critical inquiry and empirical analysis. Through analyzing the relationship between the three arms of government, the accountability framework, and civil society, we hope to provide insights that influence global policy and uphold democratic norms. We cordially welcome the reader to go into a thorough examination of the delicate balances involved in the division of powers in the pages that follow. This research aims to shed light on the intricacies, difficulties, and ongoing significance of this essential principle in modern governance, from theoretical frameworks to practical applications.[1][2][3][4]

ABSTRACT

Despite legislative initiatives and societal gains, manual scavenging—an antiquated and demeaning practise with roots in past injustices—remains a poignant concern in modern-day India. This study examines the long-term significance and complex issues surrounding manual scavenging in detail, shedding light on the socioeconomic effects on underprivileged groups. In this regard, the research examines the current legal system, assessing the effectiveness of anti-manual scavenging laws and constitutional clauses. The report delves into the intricate details of this social ailment and examines the ongoing obstacles to its implementation, ranging from discrimination based on caste to the insufficient execution of laws meant to protect people. The study outlines a comprehensive set of treatments that include technical advancements, awareness campaigns, alternative livelihood alternatives, and stringent enforcement. Beyond these modern issues, the study explores the historical foundations of manual scavenging, following its inception through prehistoric customs, colonial influences, and post-independence struggles. The study integrates historical, legal, and socioeconomic viewpoints using an interdisciplinary lens to provide a comprehensive knowledge of manual scavenging in India. In the end, it advocates for a concerted and persistent endeavour that combines social projects with legislative changes to free communities from manual scavenging and open the door to a more just and respectable society.

ABSTRACT

In present time, Artificial Intelligence is deeply involved in our daily lives. This Artificial Intelligence facilitates scale expansion and real-life impact. Experts examine artificial intelligence through several lenses. However, results have been found that artificial intelligence required intensity and scope to be effective in human life. Now it need to assess whether AI offer benefit or drawbacks in a balance manner. This paper addresses the harmful aspects that are inconsistent with human rights. So AI needs to be used in a way that protects the society as well as human rights. Further research needs to be invested in developing artificial intelligence systems and government use of special protections that protect and future test private sector use. This paper provides a jumping off point for future conservation and research on the topic. We don’t know what artificial intelligence means for the future of society, but we need to work on developing some tools to protect people from its most dangerous applications.

This may put pressure on temporal concepts of human rights such as declarations, treaties, conventions and protocols of the international community. Risks and challenges are presented by analyzing various topics related to artificial intelligence and human rights: consciousness, rights and agency, bias, discrimination and socioeconomic rights.

ABSTRACT:

India is the largest democracy in the world, boasting a robust civil society, an autonomous judiciary, and a robust media. Although the Indian constitution clearly outlines a number of essential rights to support the human rights accorded to all citizens, its organs have failed to carry them out, raising severe concerns about India’s human rights record. The complexity of human rights in India stems from the nation’s size and population, pervasive poverty, rich cultural diversity, and dearth of many basic amenities like healthcare and education. The Indian police system now in place is one of the primary factors raising major concerns about India’s human rights situation. The Indian police system now in place is one of the primary factors raising major concerns about India’s human rights situation. Reforms to the Indian Police force are necessary to prevent thousands of citizens’ human rights from being infringed. The current Police force serves the interests of prominent politicians over those of everyday people. Police frequently overstep their bounds and purposefully violate the human rights of defence-less bystanders.
