Please answer this question Copyright: Warner Music Sdn. Bhd., owned copyright in

Copyright: Warner Music Sdn. Bhd., owned copyright in a number of Malay songs which they had bought from the composers after entering into formal agreements with them. They had sent out notices at various intervals to record dealers including Polygram Sdn Bhd warning them of copyright infringements in respect of their gramophone records but Polygram Sdn Bhd had shown no intention of paying any heed to these warnings. A report was lodged with the police and on November 13, 2018, Warner Musics' Managing Director, Tammy, accompanied two police officers to Polygram's shop where the police seized 110 records. Earlier on, on the same day, another police officer had bought 3 records from the Polygram's shop. These records were found not to be the Warner Music's records and that they were inferior quality records. This was testified by one Mrs. Beh to whom Tammy had given some of his powers and duties including the power to buy and sell copyright without restriction. Discuss the rights and defences (if any) available to both parties
