Suppose that you rent out your property to someone. Would you be: 1) Liable if the tenant causes sound smell or noise pollution to neighbours? 2) Liable if your tenant conspires to carry out bomb blasts and prepares bombs on your property?

Bloggers are obviously liable for their own views. We can debate over whether a particular law is just or not - for example Article 295A shouldn't be there at all. But if it is there, then it must be as applicable to bloggers as to anyone else. The question before the supreme court was whether bloggers are liable for views of commenters on their blog. The SC seems to have said yes. I think that is too harsh. By and large, the article is misleading. Bloggers are obviously liable for their own views.

Was it murder or an accident? I do understand what CK was trying to say about secularism in the US compared to say another country. A law is a law and it can be enforced by the government as it sees fit and where politics and religion conflict is seen all over the place and one example that I may get flogged for is Gay marriage. This is a descriminatory policy under a secular proviscion under US law. If I interpreted it incorrectly I apologize.

Everything is relative and case-by-case. I am very much for a case-by-case analysis of privatization projects too. Same goes for property rights. Life is like that.
