A robust beginning has also been made in the direction of discussing royalties and residuals for screenwriters and lyricists.
The recent stupendous success of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) in securing several benefits for its screenwriters has been hugely inspiring.

Comment by JD: Really appreciate the struggles of your work on copyright and contracts. The digital space , entertainment, knowledge, service and production is going through re-definition where political economy is being marginalised unless people like you dig in. You recall how George Fernandes struggled to get banks to recognised the taxis itself to be the surety and the labour itself to be the project.. This is similar work.

This week, while upholding the abrogation of Article 370, the apex court had cited the solicitor-general’s assurance and refrained from giving a specific ruling on the constitutionality of the withdrawal of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood.

“The solicitor-general does not have any authority to bind any successor government…. Second, and more importantly, he has no authority whatsoever to bind the legislature. And this is going to be a legislative act,” Nariman said.

“So, to say ‘We won’t decide’ means, in effect, you have decided. You have allowed this unconstitutional act to go forward for an indefinite period of time and you have skirted Article 356(5). These are all very disturbing things.”
