We live in an era where everything revolves around technology. Don’t we? We are glued to the internet and gaining knowledge through social media and other websites. Nowadays, teachers and professors started using innovative approaches to teach students.

As education plays a vital role in an individual’s life for all-round growth, it also enhances the creative culture in students. In the past few years, educational techniques have changed in step with society. As compared to traditional learning, students are growing in a better way with the help of advanced learning methods.

However, when it comes to learning, many universities, schools, and other educational institutes still require students to purchase textbooks, journals, and notes.

So to avoid buying, students photocopy the required book or journal. This reduces their productivity and research quality. Despite making notes and assignments by themselves, they copy it from others. 

Educational institutes have this photocopy facility for the students. Due to this, copying the original content of authors and writers is easier for the students. It eventually leads to infringement of publishing rights.

Universities can get licensed to give a wide berth to the copyright infringement. In order to balance the educational system, the Indian Reprographic Rights Organization (IRRO) is providing an annual license to educational institutes, colleges, and schools so that they can photocopy things legally.

Licensing can be the best way to balance the educational ecosystem. Let’s see how publishers, copiers or educational institutions can be benefited from this.
