Copyright is an exclusive form of intellectual property right for the protection of artistic, literary and cinematographic
works. Music and films fall under the literary and cinematographic categories respectively. Music soothes the mind whereas
films are a source of entertainment in a visual format. Music and movies not only provide entertainment but also offer
business opportunities and numerous ways to generate revenues. There are several international organisations, treaties,
agreements and Acts which cover all provisions for the protection of intellectual property. Copyright serves not only to
safeguard but also to foster and incentivize innovation and expertise within the entertainment industry. Digital technology is
expanding rapidly, bringing with it numerous challenges related to copyright and piracy, including issues like copyright
violation, infringement, and digital piracy. It directly causes significant financial losses for individuals and organizations. A
huge fall in the sale of original digital products such as DVDs, and CDs also occurred. Hence, the protection of intellectual
property happens to be a prime necessity. Now, it is becoming one of the biggest challenges with the recent explosive
growth of digital technology. It turns out to be a tough task to maintain a fair balance between the owner of a copyrighted
work and users. Therefore, the present paper focuses on the role of intellectual property in creating business in the
entertainment sector and the necessity of its protection. With the rampant growth in digital technology inclination of the
people to create pirated goods is also discussed. The last section of the paper focuses on a few suggestions and
recommendations for improved protection of literary and cinematographic work.
