For those more interested in this, I would recommend reading: Ravi Sundaram's "Recycling Modernity: Pirating Electronic Cultures in India" <http://tr.im/KZPF> and "Beyond the National Panopticon: The Experience of Cyberpublics in India" <http://tr.im/KZPo>, and Lawrence's "Porous Legalities and Avenues of Participation": <http://tr.im/KZP5>.
