    Copyright in Sports Broadcast Cinematography: Legal Framework and Protection Under the Copyright Act, 1957
    (NLUJAA, 2026) Dalia Dey
    The commercial and legal significance of sports broadcasting has been essentially changed in the first place by the rise of television networks, digital platforms, and over, the, top (OTT) streaming services. Sports broadcasts are currently one of the most attractive forms of audiovisual content, which attract high investments, exclusive licensing agreements, and worldwide audiences. Thus the factual and unscripted nature of the sporting event itself renders it incapable of copyright protection. The broadcast of such an event, however, is usually the result of a considerable amount of creative, technical, and financial input. Indian copyright law is aware of this difference, thus it protects sports telecasts either as cinematograph films on viewing or via broadcast reproduction rights for live transmissions under the Copyright Act, 1957
