(B) storing of it in any medium by electronic or other means; (ii) to sell or give on commercial rental or offer for sale or for such rental, any copy of the film. (iii) to communicate the film to the public;” 29. Section 2(m) of the Copyright Act defines the term “infringing copy”, as under: “infringing copy” means— (i) in relation to a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work, a reproduction thereof otherwise than in the form of a cinematographic film; (ii) in relation to a cinematographic film, a copy of the film made on any medium by any means; (iii) in relation to a sound recording, any other recording embodying the same sound recording, made by any means; (iv) in relation to a programme or performance in which such a broadcast reproduction right or a performer’s right subsists under the provisions of this Act, the sound recording or a cinematographic film of such programme or performance, if such reproduction, copy or sound recording is made or imported in contravention of the provisions of this Act;]” 30. Such activity of circulating copyrighted materials on Telegram channels would also be “communication to the public” as provided for in Section 2(ff) of the Copyright Act. The copies of the Plaintiffs’ works, which are circulated on the Telegram channels, would constitute infringing copies of the Plaintiffs’ works as defined under Section 2(m) of the Copyright Act. Thus, any reproduction of such literary work would constitute an infringing copy, even if the same is in electronic form.
