This has made many of the sites 350 million users see red. Now Facebook allows its users to choose their level of privacy, by letting them restrict access to either friends, friends of friends or everyone. It's a feature that has helped the site gain many users. But with the recent change — unless users actively manage their privacy settings themselves — their information like Family and Relationship, Education and Work, and their posts will be made visible to everyone, regardless of what their previous privacy settings were. Online observers believe the revised settings are a tactical move by Facebook to get search engines to index more information from the website, in order to counter growing competition from microblogging sites like Twitter.

The bill will now be sent to the Rajya Sabha - which should hopefully have a more insightful debate on the proposed amendments. Once it is passed by the Rajya Sabha the bill become an Act of Parliament. The Trademark (Amendment) Bill, 2009 was originally introduced into Parliament as the Trademark (Amendment) Bill, 2007. The 2007 bill lapsed because of which it had to be re-introduced in July this year, the Amendment Bill aims to simplify the trademark registration process by enforcing the Madrid Protocol which is a cost-effective system for international registration of trademarks, enables nationals of its member countries to obtain trademark registration within 18 months by filing a single application with one fee and one language in their country of origin. This in turn is transmitted to other designated countries.

The main aim of the treaty in question is to facilitate the cross-border sharing of special format materials made for persons with print disabilities regardless of whether these formats are made under the national law or under licensing agreements. Now the U.S. had emerged as a leader with surprising in approach. U.S. support for the treaty will dramatically increase the amount of special format material accessible to the people of the world. This is a 'surprising' turn of events because earlier this year it was reported that the U.S. was planning to block the Treaty. India was engaged in a 'thoughtful deliberation' over a statutory exception for the print disabled in its own national laws. This is a clear recognition of the efforts put in by the good people heading the 'Right to Read' & 'Book Bole' Inclusive Planet Centre for Internet and Society -- Dr.Tabrez Ahmad, Associate Professor of Law, KIIT University, Bhubaneswar, India, Website: www.site.technolexindia.com Blog: http://iplexindia.blogspot.com Profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/tabrezahmad7.

Since e-filing will require digital authentication of affidavits, vakalatnamas, paper documents with physical signatures through suitable biometric devices and online payment of court fees, the Court will also require the help of the Delhi Government for providing e-stamps.Accredited agencies will assist the lawyers to get their filing papers digitalised on payment of fees, and the rules will also be amended to facilitate it.

A federal court to deal with cyber crime cases in Sharjah and the Northern Emirates will soon be established in Sharjah, The cyber crime court in Sharjah will follow similar courts already established in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and the law governing cyber crime needs to be updated in order to match the progress in cyber technology. Thus, UAE is studying to make amendments on the executive regulations of the cyber law. It has already three judges who have a doctorate degree in cyber crimes. This cyber court will be federal and will be located in Sharjah to deal mostly with cyber crime cases in Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, A lot of cases happened now in UAE through the internet which has affected the economy and many businesses. The main cyber crimes involved are blackmailing and pornography, and financial frauds. The estimated loss of reported cyber crime cases in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is between $550-735 million per annum. This is not including the unreported cases as some victims – corporation and enterprises – feel that the negative media exposure would cause them more loss that what they've already lost in these cases. The responsibility should be for the CEO and CFO to start protecting their client's information. The government's role is to put this law and should take a proactive role on this, just like the US, corporations and financial organisations which are bound by law to protect their clients' information, failing which would mean a 10-year imprisonment of the company chief executives or chief financial officers and a million dollar fine. The upcoming changes in the cyber law and the establishment of a special court in Sharjah are positive moves.
