Indian Copyright Bill Declares Private, Personal Copying "Fair Dealing"

Posted by timothy on from the much-less-drama-that-way dept.

asp7yxia writes "India's new copyright bill sounds like a pretty good piece of work: it declares private, personal copying to be 'fair dealing' (like US fair use) and limits the prohibition on breaking DRM so that it's only illegal to do so if you're also violating copyright."

    So it's not illegle to to brake the copyright unless you break the copyright.

    Firstly, there are so many things grammatically wrong with that statequestionment-sentence-rhetorical-grammarfuck. Secondly, what about accelerating it?
