Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Online Course Copyright Protection
1. Is copyright registration mandatory to protect online courses in India?
No, copyright is automatic upon creation. But registration provides legal evidence in court, enables statutory damages (₹2 lakh+), and is required for U.S. DMCA filings. We recommend pre-launch registration for all premium courses.
2. Can students legally share my recorded lectures with friends?
No. Sharing violates your exclusive reproduction and distribution rights under Section 14. Your license agreement must prohibit screen recording, downloading, and redistribution. We draft enforceable anti-sharing clauses.
3. How do I stop my content from appearing on Telegram or pirate sites?
We deploy automated monitoring bots + legal notices under Section 51 and DMCA. Over 95% of links are removed within 48 hours. We also pursue John Doe injunctions to block unknown uploaders.
4. Who owns the copyright if I hire a teacher or freelancer to create content?
The creator owns it by default. You need a Work-for-Hire Agreement or Copyright Assignment Deed to transfer full rights. We draft these to prevent future disputes.
5. Can I use YouTube videos or third-party images in my course?
Only with explicit license or under fair use (limited, non-commercial, transformative). We help negotiate content licensing agreements with creators and platforms to avoid takedown risks.
