nowadays we see ppl sharing soft copies of notes of various teachers on websites or pages or dropbox. my question is whether this is an offence under Information technology act 2008?

 

case 1-   if the author himself shared the notes online.... nd then that soft copy is being downloaded by others... & then it is being uploaded & shared by them.

or

case 2--   if the author has not himself published the soft copy...but people are scanning and uploading them

 

are both these cases covered under offence in IT act

 

if this is an offence then how is it being done everywhere ? (i am asking wrt my ca final isca subject) (plz answer what is practical reality)
