Centre, State lackadaisical in helping out the crisis-ridden sector, they allege
Expressing angst at the alleged lackadaisical attitude of the Centre and State governments in helping out the crisis-ridden tourism stakeholders and the over-a-million-strong workforce in Kerala, members of the fraternity observed May 1, Workers’ Day, as Black Day through protests, including through social media.

On December 21,2020 three publishing giants sued Sci-Hub and LibGen before the Delhi High Court.

However, Aamod Gupte, legal head at ZEEL, contended that works created using AI should not be kept out of the Copyright Act’s purview.
Scaria and Gupte were speaking at MediaNama’s discussion on the proposed amendments to the Copyright Act, for which the Indian government has begun private consultation. The Act was last amended in 2012, when the internet and multimedia landscape was wildly different. Held on October 30 with support from Netflix, Amazon, and Facebook, the discussion looked at whether A
