Abstract

The ability of contemporary technological devices allows one to capture the frame of the article in a way that not even devices installed for preventing it could recognize or stop the crime from happening. The internet being a resourceful lake of wisdom and information has housed the modalities and facilitates for copyright infringements. It has been sheltering and providing gains to the people who have resorted to the practice. The space with an objective of promoting education and information is now being used for disseminating illegally acquired properties of other, i.e., Songs, Movies (Full Length), T.V. Programmes and Software. The online copyright infringement has been completely recognized, socially but not legally. So there is a dire need to put a complete end to this game by enacting such laws where liability could be fixed and rights could be easily asserted. Resting on the fact that the internet is a marshy land for enforcement of rights and liability, the online perforation of copyrighted work has dwelled on the line the distinction between a criminal act and tortious act. Therefore, through this exposition the author would bring into light why such practice of copying should be termed as crime and not a tortious act.
