Not necessarily - plain and simple ;-)

If Indian copyright law is similar to UK copyright law then it's probably not in any way against the law. There are specific exemption from the "though shalt not copy without permission" for things like critique and comment.

Without having looked, I assume he blogged along the lines of "my ISP is screwing with my web pages, look what they are stuffing in", in which case including at least part of the code would be "fair commentary" - and if the code is small then "a small part of it" could well be "all of it".
