In this article, author Savan Dhameliya ‎ analyses the copyright lawsuit filed by NRI author George Thundiparambil against the creators of the novel and upcoming film "Barroz - Guardian of D’ Gama’s Treasure." The plaintiff alleges that "Barroz" infringes on his copyrighted novel "MAYA" by copying unique plot elements, character dynamics, and the overarching theme involving a ghostly guardian. Thundiparambil's claim hinges on substantial similarities between the narratives of both works, suggesting a breach of his copyright over the novel's original expression and development of a myth. The article delves into the legal standards and jurisprudence surrounding copyright infringement, focusing on the key tests of "substantial similarity" and "extraction" used to evaluate whether such infringement has occurred. The potential impact of this case could shape future copyright litigation, especially in determining the thin line between inspiration and outright copying in the creative industry. https://lnkd.in/dRytdeZg #CopyrightLaw #IntellectualProperty #FilmAdaptation #LegalAnalysis #EntertainmentLaw #CopyrightInfringement #CreativeRights #AuthorRights #BookToFilm #LegalInsights

In this article, author Savan Dhameliya discusses the Supreme Court’s ruling on Just Rights for Children Alliance v. S. Harish, emphasizing how the POCSO Act defines the offense of viewing, storing, or failing to report child pornography. The Court ruled that merely viewing such material online constitutes an offense, as failure to delete or report it implies intent to transmit. Savan Dhameliya ‎ explains that social media intermediaries cannot claim “safe harbour” under the IT Act unless they report child pornography to both local authorities and the National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). The concept of constructive possession is also explored, where even temporary control over content leads to liability unless promptly reported. The article concludes that the ruling increases accountability for intermediaries and reinforces the shared responsibility to combat child exploitation. https://lnkd.in/dPeDYgkJ
