And, in any event, Frederick Noronha and GoaJoeUK don't need character certificates -- least of all from crawly creatures like Rajan Narayan! -- because their work speaks enough for their credentials. COMMENT: re #1: While Samir may have a semi-academic point regarding the possible 'copyright infringement', I am not sure (except in the case of one live concert) that any copyright infringement (or even copyright) was claimed by the tiatrists. BTW: Youtube is full of audio-video material from films. So, I do not know why any Third-Party would accuse JoeGoaUK of copyright infringement. Has he been claiming 1 fish-curry rice with every hit on his upload? re #2: I agree with Valmiki that JoeGoaUK's work speaks for itself. I also agree that Frederick Noronha should be commended (not that he will even expect or accept commendation) for his networking and book-publication work. I hope, however, that Valmiki is not saying that Frederick's blatant 'breaking of rules' on Goanet or his inadequate research before going to print and his refusal to correct errors, is something which is above criticism or that those who criticise that aspect (especially as it plays the role of control) is 'crabby. BTW: I did not know that Rajan Narayan is a 'Invented in Goa' crab. jc
