I am not aware of the recent changes in the copy right laws but earlier the main problem we were facing is the lack of maping between the licenses used by the authors to release their work and Indian IP / copy right act. For example it is not easy to win a case if a photograph released under a particular CC license is "stolen". At least in the case of photos often the people who steal are the ones like who should act as the voice of common man.
