The Tribunal held that the digital content developed by the assessee was a copyrighted material developed by it which was stored in a computer. This digital content was manipulated by the assessee to be used in different films but it could not be categorised as computer programme but retained the character of copyrighted material and was an intangible asset which was eligible for depreciation at 25 per cent.
