‘Open’ Magazine has carried this interesting piece, by Rahul Bhatia, on the drama behind the Copyright Amendment Bill, 2010. This piece traces the story of how the lyricists and composers were upset with the royalties that were being given to them and how they managed to convince Minister Kapil Sibal to address their grievances through an amendment to the Copyright Act, 1957. This piece is definitely a must read for anybody interested in the political negoatiations behind the Copyright Amendment Bill, 2010. Also may I add that this piece is quite well-balanced, a feat which requires some appreciation, given the fact that Saregama which will be one of the big losers if the amendments get through, owns ‘Open’ magazine. ‘Open’ carries a story on the ‘behind-the-scenes’ of the Copyright Amendment Bill, 2010
