Blog Entry Super Cassettes v. MySpace (Redux)
by Anubha Sinha — published Jan 16, 2017 — last modified Jan 18, 2017 02:31 PM — filed under: , , ,

It interprets the provisions of the IT Act, 2000 and the Copyright Act, 1957 to restore safe harbor immunity to intermediaries even in the case of copyright claims. It also relieves MySpace from pre-screening user-uploaded content, endeavouring to strike a balance between free speech and censorship. CIS was one of the intervenors in the case, and has been duly acknowledged in the judgment.
