Do the following acts constitute infringement of copyright under the Copyright Act, 1957: A book is not available in India. A librarian makes 10 copies of the book for the use of the Public library.

Answer & Explanation:

Making of not more than 3 copies of a book by or under the direction of the person in charge of a non-commercial public library for the use of the library if such book is not available for sale in India will not amount to infringement of copyright. In the given case, the librarian has made 10 copies; hence it amounts to infringement of Copyright.
