Development of Copyright in Global Perspective: Challenges and Opportunities for Pakistan
This study aims to investigate the development of copyright laws with the lens of a global perspective; thus shedding light on the challenges and opportunities for Pakistan. This study employed quantitative methodology and analyzed the data of the Copyright Ordinance of 1962 with a content analysis approach.Different concepts were developed and a brief discussion was made to examine the efficacy and their implications in the light of protection of the copyright laws, procedures to claim damages, compensation and power of attorney to use the original work of the authors or creators. The study concluded the world has moved forward at the same pace they developed in every walk of life but Pakistan was far behind in implementing the copyright laws in its original spirit. The study recommended Pakistan enhance its trust and widen its credibility by ensuring strict implementation of copyright laws. The study may open new avenues for future researchers and examine various angles of copyright while keeping in view the challenges, issues and opportunities in third-world countries.
