Dear Prof,
Today I rewatched 3 Idiots after so long of not watching it. The general synopsis of this Bollywood movie is in college, Farhan and Raju form a great bond with Rancho due to his positive and refreshing outlook to life. Years later, a bet gives them a chance to look for their long-lost friend whose existence seems rather elusive.
What I could see in this movie are so many choreography ideas for the songs inside this movie. The dance moves and the musicals must be someone's idea. I just learned that musical works includes any musical work, and works composed for musical accompaniment as mentioned in Section 3 of the Copyright Act 1987.
Therefore, these days even watching movies could be interesting where I can relate the ideas in the movie to the knowledge I have possessed in the IP classes I have attended.

Entry 1
I will be using my old blog which I have created during my matriculation year for the purpose of IP class' weekly posts starting with Week 3 of this semester.
Therefore, this is my first entry for first week of my IP class.
Despite reading law, I am a fan of arts and music. Two days ago, one of my favourite Malaysian bands released two new songs in their latest album. The band's name is Midnight Fusic and the album is called Caramel Cream. My favourite member is Arif Kamarudin. He is so talented in singing and playing musical instruments. He is younger than me and he's dating a girl named Elsa Asiah. I just read that the song 'Little Did She Know' is about their relationship. I think it's such a cute gesture.
To relate to Intellectual Property in Malaysia, based on the provision in Section 3 of the "literary work" includes novels, stories, books, pamphlets, manuscripts, poetical works and other writings. This means that even the lyrics to a song is a literary work. This means that the lyrics to the songs in this album are literary works and the author/owner of the lyrics are deserving of the copyright itself. The copyright doesn't necessarily have to be registered, as long as it is original and as long as it has been reduced in material form as stated by Abdul Malik Ishak J in the decided case of Kiwi Brands.
Therefore, if anyone happened to infringe the lyrics to any songs from this album, the author or owner of the lyrics can claim their copyright and file a suit for copyright infringement as provided in Section 36(1) of the Copyright Act 1987.
