Abstract

This article looks at the complicated landscape of copyright law in Afghanistan, examining its historical development, current legal framework and current challenges. Focusing on recent infringements and developments, the study uses a mixed methods approach and involves 22 participants, including experienced writers and representatives of prominent publishing houses. The research questions guide the investigation, which aims to uncover notable developments and infringements, understand their impact on international copyright law and provide insights for improvement. The comprehensive literature review contextualizes the challenges and draws on global perspectives to illustrate the pervasive nature of copyright issues. The study examines Afghanistan's 2008 Copyright Law, which covers various creative works and emphasizes alignment with international treaties. The research methodology includes a carefully crafted questionnaire that addresses awareness, recent changes in the law, and strategies for improvement. Analysis of the participant data reveals a nuanced landscape, showing diverse insights from accomplished writers and influential publishing owners. The study identifies key themes, such as concerns about the implementation gap in existing copyright laws, the impact of socio-political conditions on infringement, and the need for greater public awareness. Comparisons between writers and publishers reveal nuanced emphases, with writers emphasizing the personal impact of plagiarism and publishers focusing on economic issues. In conclusion, the study highlights the complex challenges Afghanistan faces in enforcing copyright. The participants argue for stronger legal sanctions, more resources and education.

Abstract

This study investigates how international news media framed the role of Bayraktar Akıncı drone in the search operation following the May 2024 helicopter crash that resulted in the death of the president of Iran. Drawing on Entman’s framing theory, the study aims to identify dominant frames and examine how the evaluative tone toward Turkish and Iranian technological capabilities varies across media. Using qualitative content analysis, seven English-language articles from Anadolu Agency, IRNA, Frontline-The-Hindu, Reuters, The Independent UK, Newsweek, and CBS News were coded in MAXQDA. Applying Entman’s four framing functions, the analysis shows that operational–technological framing defined the crash primarily as a logistical and environmental problem solvable through UAV capability (problem definition and treatment recommendation). In contrast, Iranian and select Western outlets reoriented causal attribution by questioning the drone’s effectiveness (causal interpretation) and embedded nationalist or geopolitical evaluations when assessing technological performance (moral evaluation). Variations in tone functioned as indirect geopolitical signaling, transforming crisis reporting into a form of symbolic “drone diplomacy,” where technological performance operated as a proxy for national prestige and strategic positioning. Tonal patterns were closely aligned with geopolitical proximity: Turkish and neutral outlets were largely positive or balanced, whereas Iranian and some Western outlets were largely skeptical or critical. Source usage played a pivotal role in shaping frames, with Turkish and Iranian outlets relying heavily on domestic official statements, reinforcing national narratives.
