Hey Everyone,

I wrote a post on last Thursday's screening of the Aaron Swartz
documentary.

http://datameet.org/2014/09/03/bangalore-screening-of-the-internets-own-boy/

We were a small group but we were able to discuss the changes to the
Karnataka Goonda Act and the addition of the term "digital offender"

The post includes excerpts from that law and some questions we asked about
it that night.

How has this act been used in the past?
Why was there a push to include digital offenders? In some articles it
seems software companies are trying to go after piracy.
The definitions are vague and can be used in a lot of instances.  If I send
my friend a copy of a song that I have purchased, can I now be taken to
jail for 12 months?

Please take a look at the post and feel free to add your thoughts.

Nisha
