In an intriguing case of abuse, a Bengaluru-based programmer was on Monday threatened with a criminal lawsuit for attempting to expose an avaricious program that violated net neutrality. On June 3, Thejesh GN, an activist and programmer, published screenshots and some text explaining how the Airtel 3G network was inserting some extra lines of code into his browser every time he visited a webpage. ... On June 8, however, he received a cease-and-desist order issued by Flash Networks, Ltd., a company based out of Herzliya, Israel, via their attorneys in Mumbai. The order required that Thejesh remove the description and implications of Anchor.js he had uploaded to GitHub because they violated Flash Networks’ copyright over it. His ‘act’ was alleged to be a criminal offence under the IPC 1860 and Information and Technology Act, 2000. _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
