Copyright Policy

1.     Introduction 

2.     To help its members understand what an intellectual property right (IPR) is, XB2BX by XB2BX LTD Limited has examined this material on the Copyright. IPRs are commonly referred to as "works" as they provide authors, artists, and other creators with protection for their artistic and scientific discoveries to new members buyers and sellers, including those other than partners that may visit or make subscriptions to purchasing or sell products into www.xb2bx.com. 

3.     Copyright is called "authors' rights" in some locales/languages.

XB2BX Giving authors, painters, Posters, members, partners, sellers and other creators incentives such as praise to focus on the creative aspect of their work in post new products and exclusive services in that way our marketplace be more interact with international culture, information, and entertainment.

4.     Understanding the fundamentals of Copyright is essential for every business, whether you are a copyright owner or user. In conclusion, it must be remembered that protecting your Copyright and getting consent from others before using content protected by Copyright is not only necessary by law but also a smart business move. 

5.     The current fact sheet offers information on Copyright and demonstrates the value of copyright protection for businesses. 

6.     People have faced several threats since the Internet's invention. Infringing on Copyright is one of them. The submission of research papers, where scholars frequently use different sources to produce their work, is a well-known example of such alteration. People can access millions of websites with just a click and post something on social media by altering someone else's original work. Unauthorized copies of someone else's original work are frequently made. 

7.     The illegal use of brands, companies idea protected by copyright law without permission for use where such consent is required is known as copyright infringement also known as piracy. This contradicts a number of the copyright holder's exclusive rights, including the ability to duplicate, transfer, display, or perform the protected work and the ability to create derivative works. 

8.     The Copyright owner is often the person who created the work, a publisher, or another company to which the Copyright has been delegated. Copyright owners frequently use technological and legal safeguards to deter and punish infringement.

9.     Conflicts over copyright infringement are typically settled through direct discussion, a notice and takedown procedure, or civil court litigation. There are situations when the criminal court system deals with egregious or widespread commercial violations, particularly when it involves counterfeiting.

10.  To combat anonymous infringement that can change public expectations of digital technology advancements and the expansion of the Internet, copyright-dependent industries are now concentrating more on enlarging copyright law to recognize and punish the service providers and software distributors who are alleged to facilitate and encourage individual acts as indirect infringers.

11.  The actual economic damage estimates for copyright violations range widely and depend on numerous variables. However, copyright owners, business leaders, and lawmakers have long referred to copyright violations as theft or piracy.

12.  The right an author retains in their work is called "Copyright" in most cases. We'll do everything possible to give the copyright holder or their representative access. 

13.  Authorized by the holder, grant them complete authority over the use and adaptation of the work.

(a)   Understanding Copyright 

(b)  What is Copyright?

(c)   "Copyright" refers to a set of legal rights reserved for the author of an original work of authorship, such as a work of literature, music, film, or software.

14.  It is controlled by the Copyright owner or the person who produced the original work. He can let others access or keep complete control by prohibiting others from copying or replicating it. 

15.  The sole authority to perform or permit the performance of an action is known as Copyright.

16.  Of the following acts in connection with a work or any significant portion thereof by Section 14 of the Copyright Act of 1957.

(a)   Copy the work in whatever format you choose, including storing it in any form, Public performance of the work, and public distribution of copies.

(b)  Create any cinematic production in honour of the piece.

(c)   Has the work been translated? Create an adaption of the work

(d)  Examples of Copyright After someone publishes a book, he is granted the Copyright.

(e)   The Copyright to the movie belongs to its creators.

(f)    Why Copyright is Significant

(g)   There are several reasons why Copyright is crucial, including:

(h)  Copyright enables the author to exercise control over his work and provides legal protection for the creator's work. It gives ownership to the creator of the work.

17.  What serves as the Copyright's object?

The legislation and Act were introduced in India to protect the proprietor's original creations, to promote their originality, to maintain their first-hand labour, and to deter unauthorized production by anyone else. Anyone attempting to perform illegal work will be afraid to do so without the owner's permission and consent. Thus, this Act was introduced to safeguard the creativity and originality of the work.

18.  What is protected under Copyright?

a.     Written works; Original music

b.     Graphics and sculptural activities; • Dramatic and choreographic works;

c.     The Copyright only applies to original works of authorship. This indicates that the only individual who can acquire a Copyright is the original inventor of the work or their agent. You cannot claim a copyright on someone else's creation.

 

19.  Types of Works: The copyright law permits protection for the following categories of works:

Works of Literature. This includes fiction and nonfiction books, poems, essays, articles, catalogues, speeches, computer programs, directories and advertisements.

 

(a)   The Works of Music. The accompanying lyrics and musical notation are also included in this category.

 

(b)  The Dramatic Works. This category covers plays, operas, scripts, screenplays, and any music that goes with them.

(c)   Choreographic works and pantomimes. This kind of work excludes the use of typical dancing moves.

(d)  Sketches, cartoons, paintings, pictures, slides, greeting cards, architectural and engineering drawings, globes, maps, charts, jewellery, glassware, models, tapestries, fabric designs, and wallpapers are among the works that are included in films, television, and other audio-visual works. Film strips, videos, and films are some examples.

(e)   Audio recordings. This covers speech, sound effects, and music that has been recorded. The people who record natural sounds such as thunder, animal noises, and others may have the right to replicate those sounds.

 

20.  Compilations. You can compile a group of pre-existing resources and copyright the group. Some examples are a collection of poems about trees or a ranking of the top American cancer specialists.

 

a.     Example 1: In the poetry collection, you were not allowed to utilize any poems protected by a third party's Copyright without that party's consent. The Copyright on old poems that have expired, meanwhile, may still be used. You would only have exclusive rights to the collection under the terms of your Copyright on the compilation, not to each poem. 

 

b.     Example 2: In the case of the list of doctors, you were powerless to prevent someone else from compiling a comparable index. Someone might freely replicate a list of all the cancer specialists in the U.S. since it is just a collection of facts. You can prevent people from copying your list based on opinion rather than simple facts by choosing the ones you consider to be the finest.

 

a.     Difficult Works. Based on one or more prior works, a derivative work is protected by Copyright if it contains what the copyright law refers to as "original work of authorship." Anybody may copy works in the Venus de Milo, and the Mona Lisa are examples of works in the public domain. Nonetheless, if someone ne recreates the Mona Lisa in paint or photographs the Venus de Milo, those works might be protected by Copyright, provided they used any originality. An identical reproduction of the Venus de Milo or an image of the Mona Lisa is not protectable. However, creatively derived works that alter the painting or photograph (for as, by changing the viewpoint and lighting) are protectable.

 

b.     Works in architecture. A building could not previously be protected by Copyright; only the construction plans could. This resulted in some intriguing legal battles when those who duplicated the designs of other people's buildings were only found guilty if it could be demonstrated that they had done so using plans that were protected by Copyright. The 1990 Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act now permits the copyrighting of actual buildings. To bring the U.S. into line with the Berne Convention this was done.

 

c.     Chip Mask Works for Semiconductors. The 1984 Semiconductor Chip Protection Act offers protection for semiconductor chip designs. The procedure is handled by the Copyright Office, even though the defence is somewhat different from that of standard Copyright. The process and forms are also similar. Contact the Copyright Office for additional information.

 

d.     Ship hulls. The 1998 Vessel Hull Design Protection Act makes it feasible to copyright boat designs. Ten years are spent in protection.

 

21.  What is protected under Copyright? 

 

A FOCUSED COPYRIGHT POLICY: EXAMPLES OF INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS

XB2BX requires all of its workers to uphold our moral and legal commitments concerning our usage of the copyright-protected materials of others. XB2BX fully supports U.S. and international copyright law. Employees of XB2BX should request permission to use copyrighted works whenever appropriate and, when unclear whether approval is required, seek assistance from the Copyright Officer listed below. This is done to fulfil our commitment to protecting the principles of Copyright generally. 

 

22.  AND

23.  XB2BX acknowledges that copyright infringement is illegal and can result in civil, criminal, or both types of penalties for the offender and their employer. Therefore, it is a requirement that all employees abide by copyright laws and this copyright policy. If you don't, you risk receiving disciplinary action.

 

24.  OR THE FOLLOWING LONGER STATEMENT REGARDING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

25.  To ensure that all employees respect other people's copyrights, XB2BX has prioritized showing its respect for intellectual property. Every XB2BX employee is expected to follow the Company's copyright policy and procedures and any applicable copyright laws. A person or business could be held accountable for breaching someone's rights. 

 

26.  Else's Copyright by improperly duplicating or disseminating content protected by that right.  

27.  copyright defence 

Copyright infringement is the term for using a copyright-protected work without authorization. Therefore, the misuse of another person's copyrighted work violates that owner's rights, including the ability to duplicate, share, display, or perform the protected work.

28.  A work that is Copyright protected can be used or created without the owner's consent, which is known as copyright infringement.

 

a.     When they are used, the copyright owner's rights are breached.

b.     A third party has violated the sole use of a work for a specific purpose. 

 

c.     Length of time. Two of the most well-known Music and cinema are two forms of entertainment that frequently suffer from copyright breaches.

 

d.     Contingent liabilities—amounts set aside in case of a potential lawsuit—can result from infringement cases.

e.     Owners create new work and obtain copyright protection to ensure they can profit from their efforts. However, suppose someone copies or reproduces the creation of a copyright holder without the latter's permission. In that case, this might result in copyright infringement, in which case the owner may be held liable. The owner has the sole authority to sell or licence his work to the third party who may use it.

 

f.      Infringement on Copyright is Section 51 of the Copyright Act defines this term.

 

29.  A copyright violation occurs, according to Section 51 of the Act, if:

 

(a)   A person carries out something that only the copyright holder can perform without the copyright holder's consent.

(b)  Unless he was unaware or had no cause to suspect that such consent would result in a breach of Copyright, a person permits the use of the location for communication, selling, distribution, or exhibition of an infringing work.

(c)   Someone brings in pirated copies of a work.

(d)  Without the copyright holder's permission, someone reproduces his work in any way.

(e)   Examples of Copyright Infringement

(f)    A person may be held responsible for copyright infringement if they use another else's song as the background music in their music video.

(g)   When someone gets music or films from an unreliable source, it amounts to what constitutes copyright infringement.

(h)  The article's only author created it.

(i)    The accused did use the author's 

(j)    The fact that not all factual copying is illegal must always be kept in mind.

(k)   To prove that the defendant has broken 

 

30.  the author's Copyright, the defendant and the author's works are highly comparable must be established.

 

(a)   adjacent or related rights 

(b)  There are two types of copyright violations:

(c)   Initial Infraction

(d)  Subsequent Infringement

(e)   Initial Infraction

(f)    Primary infringement refers to the Act of copying the owner's creative work and creating copies of books, for instance, to sell and disseminate them. 

 

31.  However, occasionally a person may merely duplicate a little portion of the work, for instance, a sentence from an article. The copyright holder in such a situation must prove two things:

 

32.  Significant Taking

a.     Only when an unauthorized person copies a significant portion of the work does a copyright violation occur. They are using a memorable lyricist's phrase as an example. 

b.     When making its judgement, the court considers the general public's perception of the work. If an untrained eye detects that the work was lifted from another source, it is plagiarism.

c.     In a legal proceeding,

 

d.     In a court of law, proof of copying will be presented if the writing style, language, and flaws resemble the copyrighted work. The infringement claim will not be impacted by any modest changes the individual makes to a copyright holder's position.

e.     Informal Connection

 

33.  The Copyright owner must demonstrate that the infringer's and themselves works are similar. However, other elements might be involved, such as that both consulted the same research source.

 

(a)   The copyright owner is precluded from claiming infringement in this circumstance.

(b)  Subsequent Infringement

(c)   Infringing on a work's Copyright without copying it is considered secondary infringement. The following scenarios are possible:

(d)  Creating a space where copyright violations can occur

(e)   One may be held responsible for the 

(f)    Crime of copyright imprisonment if they grant permission for a location to be used (for profit) for communicating a work to the public, and this transmission violates the author's Copyright.

(g)   However, if the individual is ignorant of or has no cause to suspect that the location is being used to violate copyrights, they cannot be held accountable.

(h)  t is significant to remember that the person should permit the location to be held accountable for copyright infringement for "profit." A non-profit organization (NGO) cannot be held responsible for renting a space.

 

34.  Providing Fake Copies for Sale

(a)   It will be considered copyright infringement if someone sells copies that violate the owner's rights.

(b)  Sharing unauthorized copies is considered copyright infringement when someone disseminates illegal copies of the works of the copyright holder. For instance, it violates Copyright when someone posts a movie online without charge.

(c)   Bringing In Illegal Copies

(d)  A copyright violation also occurs when an Indian copyright holder imports their infringed work. However, copyright infringement would not have occurred if the offender imported the infringing work for domestic or personal use.

 

35.  Copyright Issues:

a.     A variety of problems can occur with Copyright. Below is a discussion of them Below:

b.     Plagiarism

c.     The worst nightmare is when someone takes your concepts, words, music, or other intellectual property and claims it as their own. A little portion of your work may be quoted, but only if full credit is given.

 

d.     Under the terms of section 1498 of title 28, you may sue the offender if you are losing out significantly. This provides both preliminary and permanent injunctions to stop copyright infringement. Copyright is inherent and persists from the minute something is made.

 

e.     A court may also seize and order the destruction of materials (such as the same moulds or master recordings). More information is available here.

f.      If our case is successful, you may also be entitled to damages and any additional income the other party generated due to your labour. There is a presumption that a copyright violation was purposeful. Still, if the person who committed the offence can show that it was accidental, it may lessen your damages or invalidate your claim. The court will determine whether you can recover your legal costs, though. 

g.     But the court will decide whether to do so. Keep in mind that you must act in a criminal case within five years of the copyright violation and in a civil case within three years.

 

36.  Ownership

a.     A work may, by law, be copied, transformed into derivative works, sold, rented, 

b.     leased or lent, as well as publicly performed or musical recordings by the owner, manufacturer, or creator (who need not be the same person).

 

c.     The Copyright whose? Your employer typically holds the Copyright if you were working for them when you did your work. Unless you legally convey your Copyright to the buyer, you still own the material if you were working for a commission or as a freelancer. Always look out for copyright assignment terms in contracts.

 

d.     Just because someone buys your work doesn't give them the right to publicly change, copy, or exhibit it. They should first get your approval. Make sure your contract clauses are unambiguous as a result of this. 

 

e.     Explicit about who owns the Copyright and if you want to maintain it or forbid specific uses (like altering). Even if you might be glad to give a buyer copyright, you should know it will last forever. The second product would have to be substantially different in order to be sold to a diverse customer.

f.      You already have the right to the work if you're merely selling products, like ceramics or jewellery.

g.     Copyright A website's basic layout is protected by Copyright, as are all its contents, including text, graphics, audio or video, HTML and other markup code, directories of websites and connections, and any other creative content.

h.     It is best to verify first because some websites officially prohibit "deep" links or links that bypass their home page. Stanford has further data.

i.      Freeware, Shareware, and Creative Commons

j.      Consider looking at Creative Commons licences if you want to share your work but don't care about getting paid, staying within the purview of copyright laws, and receiving credit for your contributions.

 

k.     These are based on copyright law and are applicable everywhere. The type of licence you require is determined by a few straightforward questions on the Creative Commons website, such as whether you want to permit commercial use or derivative works. A vital component of this format is creator credit.

 

l.      Freeware and shareware are both types of software that are made available without charge; however, shareware frequently has functional limitations or a limited free trial period. Removing the constraints or deadline would be against Copyright.

m.   Length of Copyright Many people believe that Copyright is a temporary entity and that it is OK to reproduce a work produced ten years ago. Not so!

 

n.     The Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act, which extended existing copyrights by 20 years and brought the U.S. into line with Europe, was signed into law by President Clinton in 1998. For works created after January 1978, the basic duration of protection is now the inventor's life plus 70 years. The Copyright on work for hire is 95 years old.

 

o.     Copyright for several types of material has various expiration dates, such as 25 years for photographs and 50 years for motion pictures. Therefore, you may still file a lawsuit for copyright infringement if you discover that an older piece of your work has been copied without your consent.

 

37.  infringement of Copyright abroad

 

a.     Although applicable international laws frequently resemble those in the U.S., as this U.K. website demonstrates, U.S. copyright rules do not apply to other nations.

b.     The World Intellectual Property Organisation Copyright Treaty, often known as the Universal Copyright Convention, safeguards computer software and has been ratified by numerous nations.

 

c.     Most nations have ratified the older Berne Convention, and Wikipedia provides an informative list of which nations have ratified those agreements. The "country of origin" definition for work published online is still debatable.

d.     An informative primer on conducting business abroad can be found on this legal website.

 

38.  Objectivity Public domain works. 

 

a.     This policy aims to uphold our responsibilities under copyright law and demonstrate respect for other people's rights. When using copyrighted works both internally among employees and externally, XB2BX provides the following policies and guidelines regarding copyright compliance:  XB2BX. We anticipate that all XB2BX employees, consultants, contractors, and agents will follow these guidelines. OR

 

b.     The majority of copyright rules are ambiguous and have many undefined regions. This policy aims to give [Company's] agents, consultants, and employees (whether on a permanent, temporary, or contract basis) a unified method for handling intricate copyright concerns. XB2BX has appointed [Name, Title] as the organization's copyright officer to manage our Company's copyright policy. [Name] will be in charge of overseeing periodic revisions to the procedure as well as updates brought on by relevant changes in law or policy. This policy aims to offer helpful guidelines and instructions; however, it does not replace legal counsel. When required, appropriate legal counsel should be obtained. Please contact [Name], the copyright officer, if you have any inquiries about our policy or other issues, like fair use. If you require legal counsel, [Name] can help you find one.

 

c.     By guaranteeing them exclusive rights to manage how their works may be used, copyright laws encourage authors and other creators (and those who get requests through such persons) to produce and share creative works. The ability to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly show work is one of the authors' unique rights. These rights provide the owners of copyrights control over how their results are used and allow them to profit, both financially and otherwise, from the commercialization of their creations. The ability to "make a derivative work," such as a film based on a book, is likewise protected by Copyright; the ability to add a component to a more significant production, putting an essay in a book or journal, for example 

d.     as well as the rights to credit and integrity for the "authors" of some visual works of art. You often need permission before reusing or recreating someone else's copyrighted work if you are not the copyright holder. For instance, citing the author of a piece of work does not constitute permission. However, authorization is typically not required for activities like reviewing, reading, or obtaining a book or picture on loan that do not affect the copyright holder's exclusive rights.

e.     Internet-based works are used. 

 

39.  What is Copyright Protection?

The rights granted to support "authors" of "original works of authorship," including those of literature, drama, music, architecture, cartographic, choreographic, pantomimic, pictorial, graphic, sculptural, and audio-visual works. This means that almost any creative work you may come across in readable or viewable format, including books, magazines, journals, newsletters, maps, charts, photographs, and graphic materials, as well as unpublished materials like analyst reports and consultant advice and non-print materials like websites, computer programmes and other software, databases, sound recordings, motion pictures, video files, sculptures and other artistic works, is almost certainly protected by the law.  

 

40.  What is NOT Copyright Protected?

Copyright does not cover everything. This includes non-fixed works, names, slogans, ideas, facts, and data, lists of components or contents, self-evident truths, and works in the public domain (more on this below). However, some of these things might be covered by contracts or other legal provisions, such as patent or trademark legislation. Before employing such materials, ensuring no different type of protection prevents their use is vital.

 

 

41.  How much time is copyright protection in effect?

The copyright duration for works produced by businesses or other organizations is 95 years. 

 

42.  Good Use

According to the defendant, they may assert the fair use defence in a case involving copyright infringement. Fair use acknowledges that some uses of other people's works that are copyright-protected are permitted without the copyright holder's consent. Despite the fact definite guidelines for proper usage, typically, the reproduction (whether a photocopy or digital)

 

43.  The Act mandates a fact-specific review of the usage based on four considerations to decide whether a given use is permissible as fair use:

The usage's objective and nature (for instance, whether it is for profit or non-profit educational use).

 

44.  The type of work protected by Copyright (is it largely factual or highly creative?).

The size and quality of the portion consumed.

 

45.  The potential impact market or the worth of the work covered by Copyright.

 

Each fair-use analysis must consider all four variables and balance them against one another. The fair use doctrine's use is far more limited than most people realize, although some see it as a panacea for many of their reproduction practices. 

 

Because of this, even copyright law experts frequently have trouble forecasting the

The final conclusion is that determining whether reusing anything under specific conditions may be considered fair use involves an acceptable risk assessment. Short quotes from works are allowed by XB2BX to prevent any copyright risks. Otherwise, the permission processes outlined in this policy should be followed, and situations where a fair use determination may be required, should be sought the advice of [Company's] Copyright Officer.

 

46.  Copyright infringement - Foreign works and infringement

The Berne Convention and the Universal Copyright Convention are two significant copyright conventions to which the United States is a party. As a result, if XB2BX utilizes a copyright-protected work from nearly any other nation, U.S. copyright law—assuming the usage occurs in the United States—applies to using that work. The use of American employment in other participating nations is also subject to their nations' copyright regulations. Although the laws of the participating countries' laws are somewhat consistent thanks to these treaties' establishment of certain norms, there are some variations. 

 

47.  Regarding the use of materials by employees or others outside the United States, [Company's] Copyright Officer and licencing intermediaries like Copyright Clearance Centre offer agreements that permit the use of materials from across borders, which can significantly simplify the permission process.  

 

48.  Copyright and Digital Works

Any content copyrighted in non-digital form is also copyrighted in digital format. For instance, Print and electronic books are both covered under copyright legislation. Copyright laws protect both print letters and emails. Regardless of who received the letter in either scenario, the author generally owns the Copyright. Conditions of use for any website you desire to use before doing so since they will specify what, if any, use you are permitted to make of the materials you discover there. Always make an effort to seek consent before using any works on the Web (such as publishing them on [Company's] company website that is accessible to the general public). Worldwide rights, as most Web uses of the content are global.

 

49.  Guidelines for the Appropriate Use of Copyrighted Materials  

Employees should be able to make informed decisions about the items they will require for their work by using the advice and information in this area.

50.  This section should describe the procedures to be followed to ensure employee compliance as well as the type and severity of any disciplinary actions that may be taken if non-compliance is found.

 

51.  XB2BX Employee's Copyright Law Responsibilities

a.     No XB2BX employee shall, in violation of law, replicate any copyrighted work in Print, film, or digital form. Employees of XB2BX must presume that most of the items used are copyrighted until proven otherwise because results are protected even if they are not registered with the United Kingdom and U.S. Copyright Office.

 

b.     If workers want to utilize anything that isn't protected by Copyright, they need to ensure that nothing else, such as trade secret or trademark legislation, is watching it. Suppose an employee of the Company produced it. In that case, it may be used without restriction, subject to any corporate policy on using employee-generated materials and the rules set forth at the end of this article. It is best to be on protocols set forth for the use of copyrighted work and how it is protected by Copyright.

 

c.     To avoid violating the rights of the copyright holder when reusing a work that is protected by Copyright, you only need to obtain a licence from the owner of the Copyright or their express written consent unless it is determined in consultation with the copyright officer and, if necessary, legal counsel, that the use would be acceptable as a fair use.

 

d.     Employees are permitted to use and distribute the materials of publishers and other copyright holders thanks to licences that XB2BX has negotiated with them. Restrictions and specific usage guidelines apply to certain charges. Therefore, before copying or sharing any copyrighted documents, an employee must confirm the allowed legal uses. 

e.     Any worker who transgresses the [Company's] copyright policy may face disciplinary action, including termination.

f.      Rights of XB2BX concerning Computer Systems and Software XB2BX reserves the right to monitor employee computers (including desktop, laptop, and mobile devices) and any content kept on a computer system by an employee.

g.     Additionally, XB2BX maintains the right to delete any materials that infringe on third-party rights, alter them, or otherwise make them inaccessible.

 

 

h.     If it is intended for an employee, consultant, or contractor to use shareware or other software on [Company's] computers, XB2BX must licence it. Additionally, they should be implemented with our systems' consent and aid to ensure their security and safety.

 

i.      Staff in information technology. Employees are thus informed that all computers, devices, and software provided by XB2BX are periodically audited.

j.      If a password is given to an employee to access material licenced by XB2BX, the employee is responsible for protecting the password's security and keeping it confidential.

 

 

 

52.  Use of Company-Created Materials

 

a.     When an XB2BX employee produces written or other creative content (such as a Web presentation or audio-visual work), the content is presumed to be Copyright protected. The Company automatically owns any works developed as part of or in connection with your employment as "works made for hire" under the U.S. Copyright Act. When XB2BX commissions contractors or consultants to produce works, the contract with that contractor or consultant should state that all works produced under that contract are considered to be "works for hire" and that, in the event that those works do not automatically become XB2BX property, the contractor or consultant hereby assigns all of his/her/its rights in those works to XB2BX. Please check with the copyright Officer or manager if you have any questions.

 

b.     Always include a proper copyright notice on any items distributed outside the Company when using company-created copyrighted works. Any disclosure to the outside world is also subject to any confidentiality obligations imposed on that information.

c.     You should contact the Copyright Officer or legal counsel right once you learn of any unauthorized use or distribution of materials produced by the steps that can be taken.

 

 

 

53.  Copyright Exceptions:

 

a.     Reference, Evaluation, and Review

b.     It won't be considered infringement if someone uses a copyrighted work's quotations. The published work may also be critiqued or reviewed using examples.

c.     requisites for making the exception

d.     The content's intent is sincere criticism, citation, and review. One cannot, for instance, talk about a movie in-depth in an essay and then say they enjoyed it. 

 

e.     The information utilized for evaluation or critique should be readily accessible to the general audience. Therefore, the information that is kept confidential and not made public cannot be used by anyone.

f.      Fair use should be made of the content. What is considered fair and what is not is not defined by law. The case's facts and circumstances will determine whether or not the material was used fairly.

g.     A person would not have a Copyright if they gave the copyright owners adequate acknowledgement.

h.     Pastiche and parody

i.      Parody refers to the creation of humour or mocking by using someone else's previously published work. Some may use the copyrighted work to express criticism, while others may use it to highlight a social trend. Parody and pastiche of work are not regarded as copyright infringements.

 

54.  Test for Copyright Infringement

(a)   The court follows the three-factor test to test whether the work is copyrighted. These three factors are:

(b)  Quantity of the copied work

(c)   the reason behind the copying

(d)  The possibility that the two positions will compete.

(e)   Reporting on News

(f)    Sometimes, a news reporter will utilize protected content to cover a breaking story. A news reporter, for instance, might use a portion of the video footage to cover a recent event. He is not violating the Copyright in this instance. A news reporter is exempt from copyright infringement under the specific circumstances described below.

(g)   The news reporter has not used the copyrighted image. News reporting cannot make use of the copyrighted image.

(h)  The content should only be used for reporting purposes, and the aim should be sincere.

(i)    The information must be used relatively.

(j)    The news anchor libraries

(k)   The libraries often lend readers the book for a certain period and make copies for its users. In this case, the librarians cannot be made liable for copyright infringement.

 

55.  Education

Using copyrighted content for educational purposes is another exclusion from copyright infringement. When teachers use protected content to help students understand a topic or make a point, it is not considered a copyright violation. Similarly, it is not a copyright violation if a student utilizes someone else's ideas to explain an answer in an exam.
