Copyright Law Changes In India Could Gut Fair Use

,----[ Quote ]
| Well, here we go again. Reports are coming 
| out of India about new draconian copyright 
| law changes that were apparently decided on 
| between the government and the recording 
| industry with little to no input from 
| everyone else the new laws would impact. 
| Among the concerns? The new law would 
| significantly strip fair use (fair dealing in 
| India) rights, to the extent that they are 
| effectively useless. This seems to happen 
| over and over again in different countries.
