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

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."

    the overall quality of living actually is same or even lesser in developed economies compared to developing economies*.

    I'm fairly sure that, having seen what the Mumbai slums look like, that they're about as awesome as being homeless. When you consider that there's 5 times the number of people in Dharavi (600,000) than are chronically homeless in the US (120,000), I don't know how you can make a statement about quality of living being better there.

    Unless you go the subjective route, of course. Then, you're talking about interviewing whole loads of people that only have an experience in one place, and can't form any sort of opinion based on facts.
