The law, as changed in the draft, suggests that ”provided that a copy of a work published in any country outside India with the permission of the author of the work and imported from that country into India shall not be deemed to be an infringing copy”. So what does this mean for the digital space? Our reading of this is, that distributors can import multiple digital copies or DVDs for sale in India from markets where it has been released, without it being deemed copyright violation, even if studios have delayed the release in India. One can now legally bypass exclusive regional licenses. You should check with your lawyers, though.
Seems odd to me. If a publisher does not release media for use in India then no one in India has permission to use it India... then it is copyright infringement...
If the publishing entity authorizes one company to impost a specific media into India it implies that the author allows only one company to import so how can it not be copyright infringement to get it by other means?
