What fair dealing does is that it permits certain acts with respect to copyrighted works, which otherwise would have constituted as infringement. The concept of fair dealing found in the UK copyright law as well as the Indian copyright law, is much more restrictive that its US counterpart, fair use. While the Indian law provides a specific list of fair dealing acts and purposes, the US law uses certain set of factors to classify fair use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Section 52 on the Indian Copyright Act, entitled \u2018Certain acts not to be infringement of copyright\u2019, enumerates certain permitted acts with respect to various types of works and the purposes. The Section has been amended numerous times, the most recent amendment being the 2012 one. The 2012 Amendment Act introduced many new changes including safe harbour provisions and provisions with respect to persons with disability. To simplify this rather elaborate and detailed section, a tabular version of this Section can be found below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/55170283\" width=\"840\" height=\"670\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><br\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Disclaimer: While the above table attempts\u00a0to cover most aspects of the copyright law and fair dealing, the reader is requested to not construe the table as exhaustive and\/or conclusive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Authored by Anchita Sharma<\/p>\n<p>Contributed by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/media-and-entertainment-law\/\">Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0Law Group at BananaIP<br \/>\nFor any further information on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/media-and-entertainment-law\/\">Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0law in India, write to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:contact@bananaip.com\">contact@bananaip.com<\/a><br \/>\nImage Source\/ Attribution <a href=\"http:\/\/mg.ml.vc\/u\/ml\/m\/right-to-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>, the image is governed by Creative Commons License <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article analyses the concept of fair dealing under Indian copyright law, as set out in Section 52 of the Copyright Act, 1957.
