Marina Komashko

Hello. A counter question immediately arises: what are the challenges faced by creators, actors and producers in Sri Lanka? :-)

Best regards,

Marina

Sahan Uthpala Sandaruwan

Damian Wayne Williams Thank You !

Marina Komashko Hello,

Thank you for your insightful counter-question! The challenges that creators, actors, and producers face in Sri Lanka are central to understanding the gaps in the current legal framework. Some of the key challenges include:

Lack of Awareness: Many stakeholders in the industry are unaware of their intellectual property rights and how to enforce them.

Inadequate Legal Protections: Existing laws do not comprehensively address the specific needs of the film industry, especially concerning related rights for actors and moral rights for creators.

Weak Enforcement Mechanisms: Even where laws exist, enforcement mechanisms are often inefficient, making it difficult to combat piracy and unauthorized use.

Limited Access to Legal Resources: Many in the industry, particularly independent filmmakers and small production houses, struggle to access legal advice and support.

Challenges in International Distribution: The lack of alignment with international IP standards poses difficulties for Sri Lankan films in entering global markets.

Thank you again for your response. it adds an important dimension to this discussion! I’d love to hear your thoughts on addressing these challenges.

Dear Sahan Uthpala Sandaruwan it seems that the text in your reply was written by ChatGPT instead of you. You are asking about proposals for the development of legislation, but as problems you mention ignorance of rights and inaccessibility of legal consultants. Please think with your head, dear assistant lecturer, whether changing the law would help solve the problems you have identified. And use chatbots less, please.

Best regards
