Information Technology Act – Indian IT Act

Did you know that India has an IT Act (Information Technology Act) that provides the legal infrastructure for e-commerce and other online activities in India?

So if someone has illegally uploaded your film/video online, without your permission, you could file an FIR with the police, who will register a complaint under various sections of the Information Technology Act (as applicable) and even under various sections of the Copyright Act.

After the United Nations adopted the UNCITRAL Model Law on E-Commerce, India passed the Information Technology Act 2000 in May 2000 and notified it for effectiveness on October 17, 2000.

The Information technology Act 2000 has been substantially amended through the Information Technology Amendment Act 2008.

More on the Information Technology Act.
