International Copyright Law (2009). Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal, Vol. 27, No.

doctrine akin to U.S. “fair use” were not established as an international legal norm. This paper analyzes

concept in international copyright law differs from its state in 2000.

3. Gupta, Aditya, The Scope of Online Service Providers’ Liability for Copyright Infringing
Third Party Content under the Indian Laws – The Road Ahead. JIPR Vol.15(1) [January 2010]

The issue of liability of online service providers (OSPs) for third party content is one of the most
contentious issues in the realm of cyber law. Different jurisdictions around the world have dealt with
the issue either through legislative provisions or judicial pronouncements. Until recently, the legal
position in India was nebulous and vague especially with respect to liability for copyright infringing
third party content. The Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008 has significantly clarified the
scope of immunities available to intermediaries. Unlike the immunities under the old IT Act, these
immunities are not only available with respect to offences under the IT Act, 2000 but even for the
liabilities arising under any law.
