Posted on April 3, 2023April 30, 2025 by Tech Law Forum NALSAR

[This article is authored by Tanmay Malik, a 4th year student at NALSAR University, Hyderabad. It analyses if the restrictions on paid news over search engines is violative of the fair use doctrine under the copyright law.]

The two rises intersect and make these outlets the most likely source of news.

Posted on December 21, 2020December 21, 2020 by Tech Law Forum NALSAR

[This Explainer has been authored by Harsh Jain and Sankalp Jain of the NALSAR Tech Law Forum Blog.]

The over-the-top (‘OTT’) industry in India has been growing exponentially–faster than anywhere else in the world–and pegged to reach a size of $5 billion by the year 2023. With an increase in internet penetration, coverage and speed, the consumption of content available on OTT streaming services is at an all-time high. This has not only increased the accessibility to titles old and new, but has also created a new avenue for content-creation on diverse themes. As the pandemic led to the closure of movie theatres and other forms of public entertainment, OTT platforms have been growing in India along with the rest of the world.

Posted on December 30, 2019November 1, 2020 by Tech Law Forum @ NALSAR

TLF is proud to bring you a two-part guest post authored by Ms. Malavika Raghavan, Head, Future of Finance Initiative and Ms. Anubhutie Singh, Policy Analyst, Future of Finance Initiative at Dvara Research. This is the second part of a two-part series that undertakes an analysis of the technical standards and specifications present across publicly available documents on Account Aggregators. Previously, the authors looked at the motivations for building AAs and some consumer protection concerns that emerge in the Indian context.

Account Aggregators (AA) appear to be an exciting new infrastructure, for those who want to enable greater data sharing in the Indian financial sector. The key data being shared will extensive personal information about individuals like us – detailing our most intimate and sensitive financial transactions and potentially non-financial data too. This places individuals at the heart of these technical systems. Should the systems be breached, misused or otherwise exposed to unauthorised access the immediate casualty will be the privacy of the people whose information is compromised. Of course, this will also have an impact on data quality across the financial sector.

Blockchain and Virtual Reality—A Heavenly Merger?

Posted on March 5, 2019October 9, 2024 by Tech Law Forum @ NALSAR

[Ed Note : The following post has been authored by guest contributor Davor Gasparevic.

On one hand, you have two fast-rising superstar platforms that both fascinate and capture the imagination of millions, but on the other, the two technologies started as completely disparate in terms of their aims and scopes.  After all, blockchain started out as a decentralized ledger system for tracking cryptocurrency, and VR was developed for entertainment purposes. Combining them and creating something truly unprecedented might be seen as a once in a lifetime opportunity.
