Is posting someone else’s copyrighted images on your blog ‘fair use’? Which court has jurisdiction in respect of Indian Blogs, where servers are located outside India?


These questions are answered by Indian Cyber Law Expert, Mr. Pavan Duggal, as he advises bloggers as to how to manage and protect their blogs.

Mr. Duggal stresses on the necessity of having well drafted Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions and Disclaimers, in order to avoid liability for any defamatory or plagiarized content posted on a blogger’s blog by a third party user (visitor) on the blog, under the Information Technology Act, or any other law. Especially Section 66A of the Information Technology Act, under which a blogger can be held criminally liable for comments of the blog visitor.

He also states that all bloggers who take blogging seriously ought to apply for registration for trademark of their blog names.

Mr. Pavan Duggal also clears misconceptions about jurisdiction issues in respect of Indian Blogs, where servers are located outside India.
