Continuing journey of briefly discussing IP, this another blog is a mere discussion on conjoining (66A*, 66C, 66D) of IT Act, with 52 of Copyright & taking essence & expanding scope of alike Moral Rights in 38B of Copyrights, & intermediary guidelines (R. 3(b)(iv)). And furthermore, also expanding the scope of 106A of U.S. Copyright law. Alike a Performer has Moral Rights, & so as any Author etc., wherein the original context of the act or words or performance cannot be mutilated or morphed or distorted or modified; and, when it comes to Memes, that moral right of refraining someone or something for not preserving the original essence or context, too exists. Same goes with the roasting part.
But again, how the IT act comes into picture? For the reason, that, the Memes or Roasting are sometimes involved with Offensive Messages, Identity Theft (Deep Fake) (As Faces are Identity too) & Cheating by Personation, all this done with the help of Computer, so comes the IT Act aligned with IP. Look, I enjoy Memes, like Others, & this blog is no way to create serious environment, & such environments shouldn’t be created also. I’m only including this when & where the line is crossed. Satire is different from, being extremely Slanderous or Offensive or any Wrong Depictions. Otherwise, if no harm, personal or public, in Memes or Roasting, they’re within scope, I assume, for entertainment.😊* S.C. struck down 66A in 2015.
