This is very shameful act! At least not expected from organization like NITC. C'mon how can they do this? Lets take it to some public forum. Discuss this in media. They have to be accountable for the content on their site which i think is misguiding. And wat was more shameful is the fact that it was a workshop on Intellectual Property Rights and i think they strongly voilated intellectual property rights.
@BibekPaudel, Lets get this done through media and all. Lets adopt a more social approach. And i must say Nepali media houses are so slow and dumb. Make them more accountable towards free and fair news. On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 10:40 PM, prabin gautam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > *I am very sad to send this email.
