^^ it is allowd... if u compile news from different sources and modify it in your own language.. it is definitely allowed... and it is a very good practice if u acknowledge the source... (just a small link to the source website or just the name of it) in small fonts will do.... go ahead...

It is not allowed, until it falls under 'fair use' criteria. Note if you making money from your blog/website by putting ads, then you cannot be exempted under fair use clause.

Depends on your purpose. If it is education, then it is allowed. However, to be be more credible in th eyes or readers or viewers, you should give sources. It may also mean that you are not required to pay any fees or royalties but attribution to the source is required.

Depends upon the individual blog policy.

others were ok ..but i think it was too much to say direct no...
if it is so ...many sites of india should have been close now...
if you have any legal evidence you can show...other wise as a net user...i dont think your words is 100% right......

it is goverment to decide fair use....well site can say any thing...but it should be backed by the law of land...
so what does law says...

any way thanks

Hmm.. I think she means like, most websites when you sign up, you tick the EULA, which no one reads. It says something like, under the juridisdiction of california(or wherever the server is) you have to follow all laws etc..

So what is Indian government's rules like that? Is that what you are asking saharika?
