Print Media v/s Electronic Media: A Need for Introspection

Mr. Koneru Tatikonda — 2024-02-27

The media industry has seen significant changes over the past few decades, with the rise of electronic media challenging the dominance of traditional print media. Print media, which includes newspapers, magazines, and books, has been around for centuries and has been the primary source of news and information for many people. Electronic media, on the other hand, has seen a dramatic increase in popularity with the rise of social media, online news websites, and streaming platforms. In this research paper, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of print and electronic media and consider how they have impacted society and the media industry. The comparison between print media and electronic media is an interesting and ongoing debate in the media industry. While both forms of media have their advantages and disadvantages, it is important to consider the impact they have on society and whether they are meeting the needs of their audience. Print media, such as newspapers and magazines, has been around for centuries and has traditionally been the main source of news and information for many people. It is tangible, portable, and easy to read. Print media has a long history of credibility and reliability, with many readers trusting the information that is presented to them. Electronic media, on the other hand, has exploded in popularity in recent years with the rise of social media, online news websites, and streaming platforms. Electronic media is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection and can reach a vast audience quickly. While electronic media has its benefits, such as instant access to breaking news and the ability to interact with others online, it also has its drawbacks. There is a growing concern over the spread of misinformation and fake news online, and the algorithms used by social media platforms can create filter bubbles that limit the diversity of news and information that people are exposed to.

AI-Generated Works: Copyright Ownership

Ms. Debarati Pal — 2024-02-28

Generative AI systems have taken over the world at a raging rate. While loads of content are being produced online by generative AI tools such as ChatGPT using existing works that are a subject of copyright, there has been a sudden rise in disputes regarding the question of who would be the rightful owner of a copyrighted work generated after AI machine learning from existing sources. While the jurisprudence for copyright ownership of compilations and the ‘Sweat of the Brow’ doctrine was laid down by the US Supreme Court in Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co., the answer to ownership of AI-generated works is not that simple. The doctrine says that one who spends even a minimal degree of effort and creativity coming from oneself to create a new work on the basis of existing works becomes the rightful owner of the ‘compilation’. However, with AI, there are several inherent problems that hinder it from being eligible to be a copyright owner of works generated by it. In this article, the author has discussed in detail the reasons why AI cannot be the rightful copyright owner of works generated by it.

Dr. Monika Jain — 2024-02-28

One-time settlements give borrowers the chance to pay off their outstanding obligations with lenders for a lower sum and are frequently employed in the lending sectors. But it's important to realise that borrowers don't necessarily have a claim to such settlements. The main determinants of a borrower's capacity to negotiate and get a one-time settlement are examined in this abstract. Clarifying the idea of one-time settlements and their importance in debt resolution is the first step in the examination. The structure governing these settlements is then discussed, highlighting the fact that borrowers must adhere to strict requirements established by lenders or organisations. If a one-time settlement is possible, it depends critically on the borrower's status, the lender's policies, and the type of debt. This abstract also examines the lender's viewpoint, stressing their reasons for providing one-time settlements, including risk reduction and quicker fund recovery. It also clarifies the negotiation process and the significance of openness and honesty in forging agreements that benefit both parties. In conclusion, this abstract emphasises that while one-time settlements may be a good way to reduce debt, borrowers are not automatically entitled to them. To successfully negotiate a one-time settlement, borrowers must be well-informed, responsible, and ready to engage in serious negotiations with their lenders. Borrowers who want to successfully negotiate the debt resolution procedure must comprehend the dynamics of one-time settlements.
