That is all one can expect in India because the Laws are like that.

In between, loved your status "Sair Kar Duniya Ki Galib , Jindagani Fir Kahan ..."

To make it more beautiful, (just suggestion not correction

)
Jindagani => Zindagani
Fir => Phir

This is Urdu, a beautiful language!!

Paresh, somehow I have not got around to making the changes but soon. Thanks for the suggestions.

Today Mint (related to Hindustant Times and Wall Street journal) did an article on mainstream media taking pictures from blogs-

What are your views?

good article mridula... i'm glad to know that folks are raising a hue and cry about the plagiarizing of photographs.

but i doubt the procedure will halt.
somebody's got to take them newspapers to the cleaners - make a big noise - lots of tv coverage... i think then, them TOI's etc will sit up.
as of now - they must be keeping 500 bucks handy - to pay off every objection they receive.

i guess you just got to keep at it - laagey raho as they say

watermark [ as nick suggested ] in the corner - that should keep them wolves at bay - no?

all the best - keep at them with a battering ram.

Hard to claim "massive damages" unless you are willing to invest. For every Rs. 100,000 that you claim you have to spend about Rs. 8,000 on court fee.

brishti · Oct 11th, 2008, 01:36

true.
which is why 'they' keep getting away with it.
there has to be some organised way of tackling this i guess - instead of individuals.

There is an entire culture, in which the concept of copyright is barely recognised, to be changed.

Even in the classical world, only dancers ever seem to make any attempt to safeguard and capitalise on intellectual rights in their perfomance. If anybody tried to pay a fee for performing a composition by a living composer, I suspect the composer would be astonished!

Times of India subsequently ran a clarification in my case, apologizing for the same and giving me credit.

That's interesting to read, and good to know.

Whilst I think they are are cheeky for not offering you at least the going library rate (probably often not that much), I also think it is probably harder to get an apology printed in a newspaper than it is to get money out of them, so well done

mridula · Oct 16th, 2008, 17:30

Enidhi, good to see you here! 30 messages and I did not spot you here before!

Yeah-sorry about that.

mridula · Oct 16th, 2008, 22:49

No, no, I meant to say that I should have spotted you earlier at IM from your previous messages and not that you should have responded here!!
