Abstract

In India, can a research scholar or student or teacher get photocopies from the chapters of original text book of publishers for educational, research or teaching purpose? Whether reproduction of work or distribution of copies for educational purpose is permissible under Copyright Law or it infringes the copyright of publishers or it is “fair use” only? Is copyright a natural or divine right or only statutory, right? Whether use of reproduced copyrighted books is reasonable educational need? This paper objects to answer these questions after analysing the decision of Hon'ble Court given in the case of The Chancellor, Masters & Scholars of the University of Oxford & Ors. V/s Rameshwari Photocopy Services & Another on 16.09.2016 & 09.12.2016) against the international debate and in favour of students or researchers who cannot afford to read costly books published by international publishers.
