	A Post-Copyright World by Nandita Saikia
	Price : Rs 895.00
	Your Price : Rs 787.60

Far form explicating the provisions of copyright law in detailed (and often indecipherable) legal jargon, this accessible India-centric book focuses not so much copyright as idea. Tracing the evolution of copyright, it questions whether copyright ‘starving artists’ or if it merely protects a business model which does little than enable the enrichment of publishers and distributors. In addition to exploring alterative business models aligned with changing social values and evolving technologies, this book recognizes that the existing copyright regime should be exploited through licences to ensure unrestricted access to information in a world which has begun to place unprecedented importance on the free flow of information. Believing that of the works protected by copyright are manifestation of our common cultural heritage, Nandita Saikia argues that restricting access to them through copyright protection is not in individual interest of artists or the larger interest of society.
