6. Repeat Infringers Policy

It is the policy of ByteYogi to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the access of users and contributors who are repeat copyright infringers. If a user or contributor is found to have repeatedly infringed upon the copyrights of others, we will take reasonable steps to terminate their access to our Website and remove all infringing content.

We define a "repeat infringer" as any user or contributor against whom we have received more than two valid DMCA takedown notices. We reserve the right to terminate access after even a single instance of infringement if the circumstances warrant it.

7. Good Faith and Fair Use

Before filing a DMCA takedown notice, please consider whether the use of the material in question may be protected by fair use or fair dealing provisions under applicable copyright law. Fair use considerations include the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used, and the effect of the use upon the potential market for the copyrighted work.

As an educational technology publication, much of our content involves discussing, analysing, and explaining technology concepts, which may involve referencing or quoting from other sources within the bounds of fair use and fair dealing provisions.

8. Indian Copyright Law

In addition to the DMCA, we comply with the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, and the Information Technology Act, 2000. Under Section 52 of the Indian Copyright Act, certain acts, including fair dealing for the purpose of private or personal use including research, criticism, or review, are not considered infringement. Under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, we operate as an intermediary and comply with the provisions related to intermediary liability and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.

If you are a copyright owner in India and believe your copyright has been infringed, you may also file a complaint under the applicable provisions of Indian law. We will cooperate fully with any legal proceedings related to copyright infringement.
