Fair Dealing Disclaimer
The Company may use copyrighted material which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. The Company is making such material available for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.
Fair Dealing in Section 52 of the Indian Copyright Law
The Indian Copyright Act, 1957 includes a provision known as "Fair Dealing," which allows for limited use of copyrighted material without the need for permission from the copyright owner. Fair dealing permits the use of copyrighted works for specific purposes, including: - Research - Criticism - Review - Private or personal use
Section 52(1) lists the acts that do not constitute copyright infringement. The following are the most commercially and practically significant categories for businesses, creators, and educators.
Fair dealing for private use and research: Section 52(1)(a)
Fair dealing with a literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work for private use, including research, does not constitute infringement. This is the broadest and most commonly invoked category.
“Private use” means personal, non-public use, making a copy for yourself, not for distribution. A researcher photocopying journal articles for their own analysis falls here. A student downloading a paper for personal study falls here. Sharing that copy with twenty colleagues does not at that point, the use has moved beyond “private.”
The word “fair” is not defined in the statute, but courts have consistently interpreted it to require that the dealing be genuinely for the stated purpose, that the amount used is proportionate to the purpose, and that the use does not substitute for purchasing the original.
Fair dealing for criticism or review – Section 52(1)(b)
Fair dealing with a work for criticism or review of that work or any other work does not constitute infringement, provided that the work has been made available to the public and the source is mentioned.
A book review quoting passages from the reviewed book falls clearly within this category. A YouTube channel critically analysing scenes from a film can rely on this provision. The key conditions are: the criticism must be genuine (not a pretext for reproducing content wholesale), the source must be acknowledged, and the work must have been published.
Fair dealing for reporting current events Section 52(1)(c)
Fair dealing with a work for the purpose of reporting current events in a newspaper, magazine, or similar periodical, or by broadcast, cinematograph film, or photograph, does not constitute infringement.
A news broadcaster using short footage from a public event a press conference, a political rally, a sporting moment as part of a news report falls within this category. A news article quoting excerpts from a published statement or report for commentary on current developments is covered. The use must be proportionate to the reporting purpose and must actually constitute news reporting, not entertainment or archival content.
Educational exceptions
Section 52 contains specific provisions permitting reproduction of works in the course of educational instruction. A teacher reproducing limited portions of a work for classroom instruction, or a student reproducing material for examination preparation, falls within these educational exceptions. The reproduction must be genuinely for educational purposes and not for commercial use or distribution beyond the classroom.
Judicial and legislative proceedings
Reproduction of a work for judicial proceedings or in reports of judicial proceedings does not constitute infringement. Similarly, reproduction in legislative proceedings is covered. Courts and legislatures may reproduce copyrighted materials as part of their functions without liability for infringement.
Transient storage in the course of technical processes
The electronic storage of a work as part of a technical process for example, as a cache in the course of internet transmission, where the copy is transient and not retained beyond what is necessary for the technical process, does not constitute infringement. This provision covers the infrastructure of digital communication.
The Company believes this constitutes a "Fair Dealing" of any such copyrighted material as provided for in Section 52 of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957
If You wish to use copyrighted material from the Service for your own purposes that go beyond fair use, You must obtain permission from the copyright owner.
