Again, the ground realities have been ignored and the proposed laws are harsh and self-defeating. Among the savvy, it is a commonly-held opinion that zealous attempts to punish network intrusion are counterproductive to progress of the industry. The World Bank for instance, allows its employees to log in from home without problems. If unauthorized access is possible at a site, you can be sure they have a very lazy sysadmin. Some of the brightest minds on the Net are current and former hackers, and if we make sure that our kids never get there, we are also ensuring that India will not participate in the development and future of the Net.
Laws are redundant where technology can provide both protection and arbitration.
On the Internet, laws are also insufficient. Most serious cracker groups are physically spread out, use dialup lines to connect, and mount their attacks through a relay of other machines they have compromised. In reality, if the crackers want to hide themselves, they can. In the face of near anonymous attacks by crackers outside Indian jurisdiction, it would be imprudent to maintain unprotected computers in the hope that legal threats would inhibit such intrusions. Precedent shows that laws can incriminate only the benign miscreants, the more malicious groups being immune, well hidden in the networks.
