It was his suggestion that I should explore the link between literary theories and the fundamental concepts underlying copyright. I wish to express my deep gratitude to Prof. Subedi without whose support and inspiration this thesis could never have seen the light of day. His investment was immeasurable. As an expert, Prof. Dr. Sangita Rayamajhi generously supported me with valuable comments and advice. I extend her my deep gratitude. I am deeply indebted to Prof. Dr. Pushker Bajracharya, then Executive Director of CEDA, who first gave me an opportunity to study in the field of copyright. I owe my gratitude to Bharat Pokharel, the incumbent Executive Director of CEDA, for his generous support to me. I am grateful to my wife, Jebin, for her forbearance and releasing me from the bulk of my household obligations. My son, Paribesh, did an excellent secretarial job for me saving much of my time and effort. My daughter-in-law, Shailee, has been gentle and generous in extending any support she could contribute. My love and thanks to both of them. iv I am keenly aware of the many institutional and personal debts I have incurred in writing this thesis. The list goes long. I simply wish to thank them all. My parents to whom I owe the deepest gratitude have always encouraged me to tread on the path of academic pursuits. Their love and support is my precious asset. To them I dedicate this thesis. Pustun Pradhan v ABSTRACT Copyright is an outgrowth of technology. The advent of printing press revolutionized the book trade but it also provided the means by which piracy became profitable. Copyright arose to control this piracy. Historically, it was publishers’ invention to maintain order and control in the book trade. In its origin, copyright has nothing to do with authorship and the promotion of creativity. It has been shaped much by the economics of publishing than by the economics of authorship. It was only much later copyright was introduced as a law of authorship and as a means of ‘encouraging learning’. By the Statute of Anne enacted in 1709 authorship came to be legally established as the source of copyright. Copyright subsists only in original works of authorship. The notion of originality in copyright is derived from the Romantic formulation of authorship and the creative process. All that originality means is that work should originate with the author –it should be an independent creation, not copied from someone else’s work. Copyright involves the adjustment of two equally competing interests with each limiting the other: the private interests of copyright owners, that is authors and those engaged in the production and dissemination of creative works, to earn profit from the market exploitation of their works and the interest of the public to benefit from the free use and sharing of creative works. Thus, the major tension in copyright is to balance these two interests in a way both can be optimized. Copyright seeks to reconcile these twin objectives by securing incentives to the authors through the grant of exclusive rights in exchange for the creation and dissemination of works vi Copyright in Nepal is a recent phenomenon. Despite a legal history of over 42 years behind it, copyright came to be implemented as late as 2002 when the new act replacing the 1965 act was enacted. This belated implementation of copyright, as the history of its development demonstrates, is primarily due to the non-existence of the condition precedent for the development of copyright. And this condition is the existence of market for books and other copyrightable products. A sound copyright regime is needed to promote the development of national creativity and culture and to sustain the national cultural industries. Unfortunately, copyright in Nepal is yet to receive any priority in the national agenda. And, given the ongoing political transition in the country, it is most unlikely that any serious attention will be given in the foreseeable future to entrench the regime of copyright. As this transition prolongs, it is the local authors and culture that would sustain an irreparable casualty in want of adequate protection. This study concludes that need for copyright protection arises with the growth and expansion of market for works of local authorship. It is critical to the promotion of local authors and local publishing industry. In short, it is an essential regulatory framework on which are based the whole edifice of modern literary and other cultural productions and their trade. The institution of copyright is therefore deeply rooted in modern economic system. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page TITLE PAGE i LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION ii APPROVAL LETTER iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv-v ABSTRACT vi-vii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1-3 1.1 Promotion of Creativity and Learning 3-5 1.2 Economic Rationale of Copyright Protection 5-9 1.3 Subject Matter of Copyright Protection 9-14 1.4 Market Incentive 14-18 1.5 Public versus Private Interest 18-22 1.6 Technological Protection and Free Use of Copyright 22-26 1.7 Compulsory Licenses and Copyright Balancing 26-30 1.8 Chafee’s Six Ideals of Copyright 30-34 1.9 Commodification of Copyright 34-38 1.10 Need of the Study 39-42 1.11 Objectives 42-43 1.12 Methodology 43-47 1.13 Limitation 47-47 1.14 Organization of the Study 47-51 CHAPTER 2 AN OVERVIEW OF COPYRIGHT 52-52 2.1 The Battle of the Booksellers 52-52 2.1.1 Millar v.

  • Nepal Studies in Japan- Social Sciences and Humanities Hiroshi Ishii
    109 研 究動向 Nepal Studies in Japan- Social Sciences and Humanities HiroshiIshii 1. Introduction Until the middle of this century, Nepal was closed to most foreigners, though there were some notable exceptions. The collapse of the Rana regime in 1951 and the open-door policy taken by the new government offered a great prospect for those who had cherished aspirations to visit Nepal. Some organized large scale multi- purpose expeditions combined with mountaineering, an approach that charac- terized the early years of the Japanese activities in Nepal. Small scale expeditions and individual studies followed and broadened the scope to the area other than the high Himalayan region. Various interests were shown by Japanese scholars but natural sciences will not be dealt with here except where they are relevant to the issues of social sciences and humanities which form the focus of this review. 2. Social Sciences and Humanities Japanese scholars have shown diverse interests in this field as we see below. Many of the studies were made through fieldwork but there were also studies based on written sources. 2. 1. Before 1950 Among less than a dozen Japanese who visited Nepal before 1950, Kawaguchi's work is worth mentioning. Being a Buddhist monk, he became interested in Tibetan Buddhism and visited Nepal in 1899 to 1900 before he went to Tibet and returned again in 1902 and 1905. The travelogues of his trips contain valuable descriptions of Nepal at that time as well as information on Buddhism. (Kawaguchi 1909, 1966) Sanskrit Buddhist manuscripts, sculpture and his other collections are kept in several institutions in Japan and are still being studied.

    JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 2, NO 1: MARCH 2021 Riveting Nepal: A Cultural Flash! By Ms. Mahua Sen [email protected] Abstract “A Nepali outlook, pace and philosophy had prevented us being swamped by our problems. In Nepal, it was easier to take life day by day.” -Jane Wilson-Howarth, A Glimpse of Eternal Snows: A Journey of Love and Loss in the Himalayas. We do sniff the essence of Nepal in these lines! Squeezed in between China and India, Nepal is one of the most fascinating places to visit on earth. Home to the awe-inspiring Mt. Everest, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, this exquisite country stretches diverse landscapes from the Himalayan Mountains in the North to the flat expansive plains in the south. The birth of the nation is dated to Prithvi Narayan Shah's conquest of the Kathmandu Valley kingdoms in 1768. Deep gorges, sky-scraping mountains, exuberant culture and charismatic people – Nepal is the ideal destination not only for adventurers but also for people seeking a peaceful sojourn in the lap of serenity. Keywords Nepal, culture, festival, Hindu, Buddhism 1 JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 2, NO 1: MARCH 2021 Festival Flavors Customs and culture vary from one part of Nepal to another. The capital city Kathmandu is drenched in a rich drapery of cultures, a unique silhouette to form a national identity. Nepali culture portrays an amalgamation of Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Mongolian influences, the result of a long history of migration, conquest, and trade.

  • The Evolving Role of Commercial Use in Copyright
    The Evolving Role of “For Profit” Use in Copyright Law: Lessons from the 1909 Act by Lydia Pallas Loren1 Copyright law in the United States has always involved a struggle for balance; a balance between granting rights to “authors” in their “writings” sufficient to provide the incentive to create and ensuring that those rights do not stifle the progress copyright law is designed to achieve. Whether described as designing “leaky rules” or designing rules that permit a certain amount of “free-riding,”2 the copyright law must build in a balance in order to achieve its underlying purpose of progress in knowledge and learning. The “free-riding” permitted by the Copyright Act is not an accident,3 but rather is integral to the design of an effective system meant to promote progress. The rights granted to copyright owners come at a cost borne the public in reduced access, use, and enjoyment of copyrighted works. How the legal rules define that balance has transformed over time. At first the rights granted were narrow, and the hurdles necessary to achieve those rights significant.4 Slowly, at first, the rights became greater and lasted for longer. A doctrine of “fair use” developed in the 1800s,5 pushing back on the expansion of rights and making sure that the rights remained limited so that progress could be achieved. Today the rights granted to copyright owners have expanded to a point beyond the wildest dreams of the founding fathers and fair use is called upon to do more and more to achieve the desperately needed balance in copyright 1 Jeffrey Bain Faculty Scholar and Professor of Law, Lewis and Clark Law School.

  • Everything I Learned About Nepali Literature Is Wrong | 217
    (ALMOST) EVERYTHING I LEARNED ABOUT NEPALI LITERATURE IS WRONG | 217 Chautari Foundation Lecture 2018 (ALMOST) EVERYTHING I LEARNED ABOUT NEPALI LITERATURE IS WRONG Manjushree Thapa I’ve been rethinking my sense of Nepali literature, and am pleased to have a chance to share my thoughts at Martin Chautari, an organization that I played a very small role in founding back in the 1990s, when it was an informal discussion group among “development” workers.1 Most of us, at the time, were foreign-educated, or actual foreigners. We were well meaning, but we were seeking an intellectual life without any links to Nepal’s own intellectual traditions in the political parties, the universities, the writers and activists. It was particularly under Pratyoush Onta’s leadership that Martin Chautari developed these links and became a site where foreign-educated Nepalis, foreigners, and Nepal’s own intellectual traditions could meet for open debate. Knowledge-generation is a collective enterprise. It is not an endeavor a person undertakes in isolation. I’ve written and spoken before on the thoughts I’ll share here, first in the introduction (Thapa 2017a) to La.Lit, A Literary Magazine Volume 8 (Special issue: Translations from the Margins), which I edited (Thapa 2017b), and then at two talks for the Himalayan Studies Conference at the University of Colorado, in Boulder, in September 2017, and for the Nepal Studies Initiative at the University of Washington, in Seattle, in April 2018. This lecture is a crystallizing of those thoughts, which are still in formation. One caveat: I am not a scholar, but a writer; I am engaged in what Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak calls the “wild practice” (2012: 394).

  • Theatre and Life Heatre at the Intersection of Art, Politics and International Development
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-41611-5 — Rehearsing for Life Monica Mottin Excerpt More Information 1 Theatre and Life heatre at the intersection of art, politics and international development his book is about social and political theatre in Nepal. In particular, it Texamines how everyday social problems and macro-political conlicts are both represented and challenged through drama-based performances. How are theatre and social reality (dis)connected? How can relexivity and ambiguity allow for the aesthetic space to become a transformative place? What diferentiates street theatre performed in planned development from street theatre performed within social and political movements? How can performance and dramatic action move communities towards social action? To answer these questions I delve into both aesthetic and social performance contexts of three types of theatre and performance for social change available to Nepali audiences in the mid-2000s: kachahari natak (forum theatre/street theatre), loktantrik natak (theatre for democracy) and Maoist political cultural programmes that may include krantikari natak (revolutionary theatre). In other words, the political theatre for democracy performed by Aarohan heatre Group, development forum theatre performed by both Aarohan heatre in Kathmandu and by the Kamlari Natak Samuha, a haru activist group, in the rural areas of western Nepal, the political performance of the Maoist cultural groups, all aim to bring about social change, but how are they similar and how do they difer? Aarohan heatre Group, a Kathmandu-based professional company and Gurukul, the theatre school associated with the group, is at the core of this ethnography. It is the main ield site from which I tried to understand the world of theatre for social change in Nepal.
