SpicyIP
SpicyIP is a blog discussing copyright law of India. The founder was Shamnad Basheer.
In March 2019 Saregama, a music label, sent a Notice and take down request to SpicyIP seemingly in error through an Internet bot.[1]
The writers for the blog file public interest litigation in India advocate for the public in matters of copyright.[2]
The blog published a history and summary of an ongoing 19-year old dispute between India's The Times Group and the UK’s Financial Times.[3] This coverage led to The Times Group threatening legal action claiming defamation.[3]
