Over the years there have been loads of copyright laws introduced and amended but the main one in worldwide terms is the Berne Convention.\n\nIn India, as in most of the world, copyright is automatically granted to the author of a work as soon as it is put into tangible form.  The basic copyright rule in India is 'life plus 60' meaning that a work is copyrighted for the life of it's author and 60 years thereafter.  It used to be 'life plus 50' but was extended 3 days before the copyright on Rabindranath Tagore's works would have expired.  Once copyright expires a work enters the Public Domain and can be freely used.\n\nSimply owning a copyright isn't enough to prevent people copying your work and claiming it to be their own.  To ensure this can't happen you need to be able to prove the work is yours.  In the US this is done by registering a work with the Library of Congress, there may be a similar service available in India.\n\nOne thing you can do is to mail a copy of the work to yourself using a secure delivery service and then keep the unopened envelope.  The post office date stamp will be proof that the work existed on that date.\n\nThere are exceptions to copyright laws and education is one of the major exceptions.  It allows teachers and students to reproduce considerable amounts of work that would otherwise be copyrighted.  It doesn't mean that your CD could be reproduced and distributed at will but that the material on it can be used for educational purposes.

If you use DVD Decrypter or even DVD Shrink, that would do the trick.  You'll need a burning engine as well, such as Roxio or Nero (or you can probably download a free one). My understanding is that you are allowed to make one copy under the "Fair Use" provision of the law. Although this is still a contentious issue.

I don't believe there's any way to make a windows cd, except for copying an existing windows cd, or, well... working for microsoft. However, what determines wether your copy is legit or not is not the CD, but the product key. Use any cd you would like, but use your own product key, and you'll be fine. If you don't know your key, this little program will easily find it for you and tell you: http://pcsupport.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=pcsupport&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.magicaljellybean.com%2Fkeyfinder.shtml

Try buying the real version instead of stealing one.\n\nThe real version has the user license.

The easiest way is called a poor mans copyright. It simply involves making a copy of your CD and then mailing it to yourself. Kept unopened, the dated postmark will protect you in court against unlawful copies.\n\nFrom that point forward the court record will protect you forever.\n\nYou can file any claims in small clains court too. That is pretty cheap and you will not even need a lawyer.

Record your music on a CD. Also write down on paper all the music. If you dont know how to write get someone to write it. Go to the copyright registration office and get an application form. Fill it and submit your documents along with some fees. Your work will be copyrighted within 3 months and then you are free to broadcast your work. My personal experience in this field taught me that copyrights dont help much unless they are done by a record label. An individual is too weak to sue a big company.

Go to the copyright office and have it certified as your own and then they give u legal documents that prove it belongs to you! \n\nMy advice is contact a lawyer and ask them and they may be able to tell u the right way to get something copyrighted.
