I think copyright has been extensively discussed here on the list before . The highlights and interpretation on Indian copyright act are:

The general rule is that copyright lasts for 60 years. In the case of original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works the 60-year period is counted from the year following the death of the author. In the case of cinematograph films, sound recordings, photographs, posthumous publications, anonymous and pseudonymous publications, works of government and works of international organisations, the 60-year period is counted from the date of publication.

What are the moral rights of an author?

The author of a work has the right to claim authorship of the work and to restrain or claim damages in respect of any distortion, mutilation, modification or other acts in relation to the said work which is done before the expiration of the term of copyright if such distortion, mutilation, modification or other act would be prejudicial to his honour or reputation. Moral rights are available to the authors even after the economic rights are assigned.

Do the author’s moral rights remain after assignment of copyright?

Yes. The moral rights are independent of the author’s copyright and remain  even after assignment of the copyright.

Will failure to display a work infringe the moral rights of an author?

No. Failure to display a work or to display it to the satisfaction of the author shall not be deemed to be an infringement of the moral rights of the author.

Who is the owner of a work produced during the course of the author’s employment?

In the case of a work made in the course of the author’s employment under a contract of service or apprenticeship, the employer shall, in the absence of any agreement to the contrary, be the first owner of the copyright therin.

Is it not true that strict application of the principle of protection of copyright hampers economic and cultural development of the society?

Yes. If copyright protection is applied rigidly, it can hamper the progress of society. However, copyright laws are enacted with necessary exceptions and limitations to ensure that a balance is maintained between the interests of the creators and of the community.

I thought copyright belongs to the author, since the copyright exires 75 years after the authors death.

This may not be directly relevant, but when I published a book from University of Hawaii they immediately--without asking me--sold the rights to Motilal, who of course changed the title (so, I think, they can sell it to libraries who are not paying attention). But they reprinted the rest of the book as is, and as far as it went, it was legal (though the result was meant to be sold only in South Asia, but well, we all know how that goes)

Well, it is complicated. They ordered 150 or so copies from OUP, and then changed the title pages!! An old fashioned cut and paste job.

I'm really shocked to hear this.  I thought Munshiram were okay.

Actually it was published by Oxford University Press. Munshiram is a plagiarized version.

Hello Gleb,

To add to the already-mentioned resources, depending on your student's level of proficiency, Patrick Olivelle's 1998 The Early Upaniṣads, published with Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers, gives the Sanskrit text with page-facing English translations. It is quite navigable.

Take care,
Eric

I was trying to find Hock’s text’s name and was beat to it! It’s a great reader.

I suggest
  • Hock, H. H. (2006) An Early Upanishadic Reader: With Notes, Glossary, and an Appendix of Related Vedic Texts. Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass Publishers.
perhaps combined with
  • Cohen, S., ed. (2017) The Upanisads. A Complete Guide. Abingdon: Taylor & Francis Ltd.

Dear colleagues,

A student of mine asks whether there exists a user-friendly reader with literal (interlinear) word-to-word 
translations, which engages the texts of the early Upaniṣads in the way the new Pāli reader of Bhikkhu Bodhi 
(2020) engages the Pāli texts.

I was able to suggest only the ISKCON version of the Īśopaniṣad and An Early Upaniṣadic Reader (2007) by 
Hans Heinrich Hock (the latter publication is very close to what my student expects, but it places the glossary (or 
vocabulary) at the end of the book, making it harder for a beginner to use, and the translations are not literal). 

Are there other similar readers?
