This video series is made available from the Northern Kentucky University Law Review Symposium in conjunction with the NKU Chase Law & Informatics Institute. This collection of materials from the March1-2, 2012 provides a permanent collection of the exceptional presentations provided by the participants. This video features Mr. Vaibhav Garg on the topic of Intellectual Freedom in India. From the program abstract: "Information Technology Act:Implications for Intellectual Freedom in India" Presented by Vaibhav Garg India is one of the largest democracies in the world with a booming IT industry. IT services, including development, R&D, testing and maintenance, are regularly outsourced to India by institutions from both USA and the European Union. To engender trust and thus commerce, legislation in India must provide adequate protection that meets the privacy and security requirements of these countries. At the same time legislation is needed to protect India's own cyber infrastructure and to meet the challenges of law enforcement in the digital age. To address these concerns, the Government of India (GOI) passed the Information Technology Act in 2000. This Act has since been amended twice in 2006 and 2008. In its limited lifetime this law has raised several controversial points and has frequently been criticized for impinging on privacy. Here we examine this law and its historical development. We also explore its implication for intellectual freedom in India and its application in a cultural context where privacy law has historically been non-existent. In particular we concentrate on Sections 67, 69, 80 and, 77, which have been the most controversial. Finally, we contrast the legislation with similar laws in the European Union and United States.
