It is being realised that the future prosperity of nations will depend more upon their intellectual property than their natural resources and physical assets.

Copyright law tries to provide a balance between the interests of creators of work and those who want to have an access to the said works. The players in the copyright are the creators, disseminators of work and the public who make use of the work for their benefit-personal or private. The specific works covered by the law of copyright are original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and derivatives like film and sound recordings.

It also examines the steps to overcome, elaborately discussed factors like role of police, public awareness, role of judiciary, role of entertainment industry as an enforcer and also the necessary steps which are to be taken in order to reduce the extent of piracy.
