hello, I bought hard copies of some books when publishers did not reply my
mails and I also could not get a response of my phone calls. so? do you
think I have no right to scan them? and if I have a scanned copy I will
definitely distribute it to my friends who need it, because I know the
attitude of publishers. and about the minister well I have never met him
personally and I know I will not have such a good fortune in future also ,
but I seriously doubt about his image of "most easily accessible minister".
the person who compares public of his country with cattle can not be much
helpful to anyone. according to this view if I pay someone to record a book
that will be also illegal because reader did not pay for it. so the
conclusion is that I am visually impaired so I have no right to read books?
sorry I do not agree and will never agree. I am ready to pay but I want
books accessible to me. take care, regards. ashish

dear Akhilesh,
do you think that what maoist and naxalites are doing is good? i know and
have seen the plight of the people crushed like anything for centuries but
this do not give anybody licence to kill. there are genuine ways always
available,
by circulating books this way you are hampering the earnings of any writer
who would have written his/her book burning thousands of hours and would
have done research on whole lot of topics. in a society where blind persons
want equality and better treatment, do not do such things to make yourselves
a a potential threat to otheres. the act is of persons of weak characters.
demand for the e books, and if you have the bucks purchase it. we live in a
civil society.
akhilesh and prashant do write some book in your future, do all the labour
and give it to pirates. sounds good??
stand against piracy.

Thanks allot sir!!!
The book is very nice but the comment that you've written on publisher
and writer is extremely good!!!
This is not the piracy, and we have the right to read.
This is the time when we must force our government to amend the
copyright act 1957!!!
Anyway, bookbole is a website designed for print disable people, and
if somebody is helping a large community to read something from which
they have denied for centuries, there is nothing wrong in it.
Sir you have got the award from president of the country for helping
one of the deprived community, and as far as I think, this is the
continuation of that same help.
Again I’d like to emphasise that book bole is a site solely made for
these sorts of purposes.
Thanks
Akhilesh.
