Hot yoga is performed in a room heated to about 105 degrees (that’s Fahrenheit, or as most Indians know it, summertime) and includes 26 postures and two breathing exercises performed for 90 minutes. Dismissing the appeal for many reasons, the Court held the “particularly beautiful and graceful” postures could not be classified as choreographic work and were excluded under Section 102(b) of the Copyright Act, 1976.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Tags : Copyright, yoga, hot, choreographic</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <!--<td><strong>Source : <a target="_new" href="http://www.manupatrafast.com/">newsroom.manupatra.com</a></strong></td>--> <td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Source : newsroom.manupatra.com</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Regards</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Team Manupatra</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
