dear Samir, I do believe in copyright but I don't believe that JoeGoaUk used the internet for "commercial purposes' and made money off his postings. I also think we have to view this in light of the service that JoeGoaUk does provide, the video documenting and photographs he disseminates without any charge. Herald has often used his photographs without even given him credit for it, and he has not made a hue and cry about it. He has provided his services free of cost when Rajan Parrikar needed documentary evidence of vagrancy around Panjim. To hang him out to dry now, is not being a good Goan. If tiatrists are being affected by his posting of their artistic imput then a simple private warning would have sufficed. Afterall, he is available on email even if he is an unknown entity.
best, selma
