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."

    Yea, because I see so much freedom in india. Added to that, I've never seen anyone get politcally active in the US.

    Your sig reminds me of my Programming I class, where the prof required a paragraph of documentation for every function. I did a rip off of Genesis much like yours. I was disapointed when I got my print out back that she never even bothered to read it.
