    Technological innovations have always influenced the ways in which music is made and consumed in societies. Now that music has entered the digital realm a new revolution is underway. The near perfect duplication facilitated by digital technology in conspiracy with the ease of exchange provided by the Internet threaten to render copyright law into a redundant relic, while at the same time changing the way in which millions across the globe listen to music. A new music culture has been born –driven by technology advances, hindered only by copyright law. The combination of the Internet and digital technology presents copyright law with what has been described as a digital dilemma. The availability of digital music in the form of MP3s has allowed for songs and albums to be easily compressed into manageable digital file sizes while maintaining very high audio fidelity. Millions of individuals across the world have created MP3s by „ripping‟ music albums into digital files of this format and made them available to others in cyberspace. Millions of others have searched for and downloaded these tracks without having to go a bricks –and –mortar retail establishment and purchase them on CD, and have shared them widely through online transfers and by burning them on recordable CDs.3Digital copy of Ph.D thesis.University of Kashmir

    Fishes are the earliest known vertebrates and flourished during the Devonian period, about 400 million years ago they form a highly successful group of animals comprising more than 40,000 species inhabiting all seas, rivers, lakes, canals, dams, muddy water, brackish water, estuaries and all places where there is water. A very wide distribution of fishes into a variety of habitats has resulted in numerous adaptations in their morphology, physiology and behavior. Economically, fishes constitute a very important group of animals and provide a rich source of food, liver oil and a number of other by products, like fish meal, fish manure, Isinglass, etc. India is a land of diverse topography, climate and natural resources. There are 12 major rivers and 48 lesser rivers with a total catchment area of 277.6 million hectares. The immense freshwater habits harbor 587 species of freshwater finfish out of the total 218 species distributed in India of the estimated 2,1723 living species of fishes in the world ( Nelson, 1984)
