a weird law
The Information Technology Act 2000 of India is nothing but rubbish. Owing to its existence, the CEO of Bazee.com has been arrested. why? because the DPS video was put on sale on bazee by some insane IIT student. now why should the CEO be responsible for that. how is it possible for him to keep track of all the items sold on his site.
If that is the law, then our PM Manmohan Singh and President Kalam should also be arrested. Its only fair enough to hold them responsible for all the crime that happens in the country they rule!
Seriously, this is one of the most irresponsible laws that I have ever heard of.
I think I have the right to express my views atleast, and not get arrested for that. I hope so :-)
Thanks to Chakra for the link on the IT Act.

The whole thing is a farce. No less. Did you check out the thread of accountability the IT Act forces on you?

To top it all, the 'wonder' kid (moolakarthaa) may never be arrested according to Police Officials!
On the other hand, I dont think it is possible to come up with "The Perfect Law" at a nascent stage such as Cyber Crime's [India hasnt seen major Cyber Crimes in its history, right?]. But let's hope the law makers wake up to this call.
