Res.Lnd.members,
I authored a book on "competitive exam" in 1999 & got it published.This year this was 7th edition.But i haven't got it copyrighted so far.
yesterday,the same book has been spotted by me in a book stall with slight modification & in different title;I can prove that the book is photocopy of mine.It's worthmentioning here that this book too hasn't been copyrighted.
Under the circumstances,what should i do for my remedies and for immdt arrest of the persons that infringed my lit. work?
What are the procedures in this matter to arrest the culprit,stop the circulation of his publication & what are the provisions for the loss that I suffered?
And have i to engage a lawyer or I can take the case by myself,coz I'm confident to take the case by myself.
Thanks in anticipation.

As you said you haven't got it copyrighted so far. So there is no remedy available for you.
