The current debates float around two statutes\u2014that is the Information Technology Act 2000 (ITA 2000) and the Copyright Act 1957 (CA 1957). Both these statutes (Section 79 and Section 52(1) [b][c]) have been amended on numerous occasions. In recent times,\u00a0<i>Christian Louboutin v Nakul Bajaj (2018)<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>MySpace v SCIL (2016)<\/i>\u00a0two judgements of the Delhi High Court have further clarified the scope of Section 79 of ITA 2000 and Section 52 (1)[b] &amp; [c] of CA 1957. There is however enough\u00a0<i>haziness\u00a0<\/i>surrounding the safe harbour framework that India is likely adopt for different intermediaries. With fresh insights from the EU [Article 17 of 2019\/790], it would be interesting to see if India\u2019s approach changes appreciably in future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This seminar attempts to look at comparable approaches concerning liability of internet intermediaries for infringements of intellectual property rights in India and EU.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Indranath Gupta<\/strong> is a Professor &amp; Controller of Examinations at the Jindal Global Law School of O P Jindal Global University.\u00a0\u00a0 He is the Co-Director of Jindal Initiative on Research in IP and Competition (JIRICO) and a Senior Fellow at the Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences (JIBS).<\/p>\n<p>______________________________________________<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6932\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/files\/2021\/06\/EU-Erasmus-Co-funded-300x86.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"86\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/files\/2021\/06\/EU-Erasmus-Co-funded-300x86.jpg 300w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/files\/2021\/06\/EU-Erasmus-Co-funded-1024x292.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/files\/2021\/06\/EU-Erasmus-Co-funded-768x219.jpg 768w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/files\/2021\/06\/EU-Erasmus-Co-funded-1536x439.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/files\/2021\/06\/EU-Erasmus-Co-funded.jpg 1964w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research seminar &#8211; Tuesday 10 September 2019, 14:00-15:00, room W416<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":842,"featured_media":6123,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-6122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk-eu-ip-policy","tag-events"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/842"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6122"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6122\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6983,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6122\/revisions\/6983"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cippm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
