Screenwriters Rights Association of India (SRAI) Secures Copyright Society Status

The Screenwriters Rights Association of India (SRAI) has been officially registered as a Copyright Society under Section 33(3) of the Copyright Act, 1957, marking a milestone for screenwriters in India.

This registration empowers SRAI to grant licenses, collect royalties, and protect the rights of screenwriters in literary and dramatic works.

Formed in 2017, SRAI has faced delays but now joins other copyright societies like IPRS and PPL India.

This development fosters transparency, strengthens screenwriters' bargaining power, and streamlines licensing processes, ensuring fair compensation and protection for creative rights in India's rapidly growing entertainment industry.
