11.6 Provisions for Libraries

Indian Copyright Act
The Indian law in this regard clearly reconciles the two purposes as mentioned above and clearly
provides for libraries and library services, directly and indirectly in section 52 of the Copyright Act
which lists out certain acts which are not considered to be an infringement of copyright. It may be
mentioned at this stage that infringement is the primary offence under copyright law and all the
remedies are geared towards providing relief against this offence. Infringement not only includes
the commission of unauthorised act but also the permitting for any proit the use of any place for
these actions and other acts like selling, letting for hire, distributing, exhibiting for trade, or
importation of infringing copies.
