Jillion influencers and artists flash their art of makeup on various social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube etc. Copyright laws are bound to protect the artwork of an artist. But a question arises whether every artist comes under the exact definition or not. Today, I would like to discuss ‘Is your makeup copyrightable in any country’ under different legislatures across the globe. Copyright laws mainly protect the interest and sole authorship of the creator by protecting their original work. However, after protection, if a third party infringes any copyrighted work, a creator will get compensation. India The creator’s art and interest get protected under Indian Copyright Act 1957 which has a broader spectrum. Besides, that Act straightly defines “Artistic Work”.

Thaler- The Entrance to Paradise Copyright laws have a reputation for protecting the works created by humans. Besides, Stephen Thaler attempted to get a copyright for one of the works of his AI. In the present application, he is the owner of a “creativity machine”, whereas AI is the author of the artwork “The recent Entrance to Paradise”. In a “Creativity machine”- an AI autonomously, with the help of an algorithm, can create a new piece of art from existing images without any interference from humans.

  INTRODUCTION The principle of Nemo Moriturns Prasumitus Mennre dictates that no person shall be presumed to lie as to the consequences or circumstances of their death, at the time of their death. The palpable feeling impending death, produces a virtuous effect similar to an individual under oath. This is the prime philosophy to be considered when talking about the admissibility of Dying Declaration in a Court of Law. However, in the recent case of death of saint Narendra Giri , the point of whether the circumstances surrounding the death can be attributed to dying declaration becomes moot. We shall look at whether the peculiar intricacies of the situation which led to the death of the saint can be considered under the umbrella of Dying Declaration.  Moreover, when we consider the rights of a person to a dignified death, it should be a practice that an individual shall be left alone in the realm of their afterlife and the cause and circumstance of their death, if at their own will, s
