Why e Gazette should not be free?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3066 of 3093 |
Re: [claw-in] Why e Gazette should not be free?

We are discussing contents in http://egazette.nic.in/

ITA 2000 had already enabled the issue of gazettes in electronic
form.

The website however does not represent the powers under Section 8 of
ITA 2000 but is only publication of e-copies of paper based gazette
notifications.

Response from Mr Raj Mathur:

I'm referring to the licence of the paper copies, since the same
licence will apply to the soft copies. Would GoI prevent, e.g.
photocopying of the paper copies and redistribution? Or is that
encouraged? If it is forbidden, can they be sure the paper gazettes
don't get photocopied and redistributed in government offices all over
the country? Will they prosecute their own employees if they copy and
share the gazette?

Should we take this to the list?

Regards,

-- Raju

Chances are that's at least a copyright violation. If the government chooses to prosecute it - which they probably will if they see this as a revenue stream...
