Required Reading:

Indian Laws:

Section 65A in The Copyright Act, 1957 Section 65a, Indian Copyright Act

Section 52(1)(ab) in The Copyright Act, 1957 Section 52(1)(ab), Indian Copyright Act


Relevant Reading

International Law:

WIPO Lex Article 11, WIPO Copyright Treaty

USA, The originator of the concept:

17 U.S. Code § 1201 - Circumvention of copyright protection systems | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute 17 U.S. Code § 1201 - Circumvention of copyright protection systems

Note this is my first time having any discussion like this and honestly I’d like to be able to spread some awareness and clarify my own doubts about the IT/anti circumvention laws, as well as any ways they could be amended/changed, or what’s changed in them recently.
