It is a gray area at the moment. Newer report dealing on all IP issues was

20.1 Clause 36 of the Bill seeks to insert new sections 65 A and 65 B in the Act relating to protection of technological measures and protection of rights management information. Section 65 A reads as follows:- (1) Any person who circumvents an effective technological measure applied for the purpose of protecting any of the rights conferred by this Act, with the intention of infringing such rights, shall be punishable with imprisonment which may extend to two years and shall also be liable to fine.
