India cracks down of illegal torrenting; 3 years in jail

Sounds like a very unfair "shotgun" approach. Like the police wants to make money, not protect intellectual property.

its fake as it is one year (1957 laws)
secondly it should be proved without any doubt that a person was visiting or downloading and he wasnt hacked which is quite difficult

Then how will Indians get their copy of windows xp?

Maybe because they aren't big on sports? Maybe if cricket was an olympic sport they'd care.

>jail for clicking on url

>>69362
its gonna be used for bribes, and thats it.

> make a social media website
> millions of indians join
> embed iframes to illegal urls
> enjoy the following chaos

good god lawmakers can be stupid

>The problem, for now, doesn't seem to that India is moving to block half of the internet through a policy the way China does. Instead, the issue is likely due to the John Doe orders that Indian courts are issuing at the regular interval at the request of content creators like Bollywood film makers. The lawyers of film studios often approach courts ahead of a movie's release seeking preventive blocks on the URLs they compile in the list.

This is true though, it's the Indian movie industry that is constantly crying about torrents

>paying money to watch bollywood films
its not worth the bandwidth to pirate them.

True, but this decision is by Reliance Entertainment, HBO and Netfix. Note that Netflix launched early this year here. Also Reliance not mentioned in the Article but competitors Airtel and TATA are.

Lastly Reliance sponsored crazy money for Modi's election campaign. Reliance are the biggest cry baby over piracy

Basically its going to be like how HBO requests ISP's in America to warn people downloading Game of Thrones. Considering no sane Indian cares about shitty Bollywood movies, they should be fine

>>69456
the country is half mad tho.
>>69419
I wonder how HBO and netflix will run in india given the FUP policy that most major ISPs have.

>>69372
Yeah its a problem across the world. Lawmakers too damn old to understand the internet and causing huge problems by trying to regulate something when they dont even know how it works

>Content creators
Why is it that whenever rich people invent a word or phrase its always vomit inducing?
