The book has presented a critical examination of such vital areas of copyright which have recently been influenced due to fast developing technology and where the legislative activity has been quite recent. Thus the issues of copyright in literary, dramatic and musical works, copyright in computer software, copyright in architectural design, copyright in performances and neighbouring rights of producers of phonograms, broadcasting organisations and satellite transmission have been discussed in great details. The questions of infringement of copyright and remedies available under copyright law have been examined at length. The issue of future challenges to copyright has received special attention.
