Sanjog Pandere,

                Thankyou very much.

These days, it is the late spring season here. What's more, in light of the late spring season, I can't rest without AC and on account of this, my power bill is somewhat high. I need to realize how might I spare power and for that, I am scanning for the tips on the web. I was perusing audits of coursework writing help and keeping in mind that understanding them, I have discovered your post. Your post is extremely useful.

The Information Technology Act 2000 prevents the use of pirated software. Although, Under the Indian Copyright act a software pirate can be tried under both civil and criminal law. The minimum jail term for software copyright infringement is seven days, and the maximum jail term is three years. Statutory fines range from a minimum of 50,000 to a maximum of 200,000 rupees. Hope it covers all.

Dear Archana,

Can you suggest a precedent case law for better understanding.
