Abstract
In India, the entertainment industry is currently undergoing rapid transition, with the advancement of new technologies. Copyright under Intellectual Property rights (IPR), protects the rights of creators over his or her own creation. The popularity and relevance of music in our country has been increasing day by day. But in this globalized era, the problem of duplication or copying of lyrics by remixing songs is not only infringing the rights of the owner but also degrading the uniqueness of music of that particular song. This paper mainly focuses on the legality of remix culture under copyright law.
