to me the law has just been silent , by deleting the section,we cannot assume that the courts will be condoning patent convicts in India.and besides it against the WTO and TRIPS aggrement to which India is commited.It just means that software created IN INDIA cannot be patented but for patented technology elsewhere used here would depend on the contract btw parties and other facts.tricky tricky tricky
one solution to balance the right of expression and responsible publication (no its not a new name for censorship )would be to allow free nodes to assist
information flow in non libertarian regimes/states can be achieved.here's how
A)))))no full real time browsing but conditoninal browsing/uploading of rich graphics.but total unrestricted text based flow.Image access to be allowed to sites yet,in a non real time request based manner.This can be executed through a semi strict filter policy (allow news aggregating sites mail lists,egroups,email sites ).Graphics access to be allowed after passing through the filter policy and requests.
i KNOW This implies
1. reduced access experience,but hey my political rights (right to information )are more important than the pleasure/gratification kind of rights.which means educationand expresion facilitation instead absolutle browsing.In places like china mynmar west asia etc,it would be a step forward in fact a boon .
2.It takes care of any adverse liability of the proxy manager/owner even if the filters can be bypassed.For it goes to show the effort in being a resonsible proxy service,this would be a effective disclaimer for the needs of law .
B))))))
A more effective method may be to have a self imposed censhorship body regulating such free nodes but that means a lot of money,prohibitive to any amatuer or non commercial efforts of assitance .
about censor ship,man there can be no unlimited rights on earth,that amounts to laissez faire,no no too dangerous...
