Copyright Compliance with Premier Publications

When dealing with content from Hindustan Times, it is essential to be very cautious about following copyright regulations and accurate use of fair use. Our service has in place several compliance mechanisms:

We try to find a middle ground between these factors and at the same time ensuring that our service is supporting rather than competing with the publisher's interests.
