Abstract

The rapid growth of digital media and artificial intelligence has significantly challenged traditional copyright frameworks. This study examines contemporary copyright issues, including unauthorized digital reproduction, platform liability, and emerging concerns related to AI-generated content. By analyzing Indian legal provisions, international frameworks, and recent case laws, the paper identifies a widening regulatory gap between technological advancement and legal enforcement. The research also highlights low public awareness and enforcement inefficiencies as key contributors to widespread infringement. The study concludes with recommendations for strengthening copyright protection while maintaining a balance between creators’ rights and public access.
