The Correct answer is ​Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Key Points

  • Assertion A emphasizes that organizers of public musical performances must seek permission from the composer for the sound recording used.
  • The reason R supports this by highlighting the need to obtain licenses from all right owners in the sound recording before such a public performance.
  • By the Copyright Act of 1957 in India, the original author holds the copyright to any musical work or sound recording.
  • Copyright societies like the Indian Performing Rights Society (IPRS), Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL), and Indian Singer Rights Association (ISRA) were established to grant licenses for songs and literary works, protecting various creators such as singers, artists, lyricists, and sound recording companies.
  • Therefore, both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
