To Goanet - Imagine my (non-)surprise when I found out that a prominent Goan journo had filched my photograph of Anthony Gonsalves without permission and without assigning credit - (I made a screenshot of it, just in case.)
http://www.parrikar.org/misc/CopyrightViolation.jpg That image is filched from here - http://www.parrikar.com/blog/2011/07/27/my-name-is-anthony-gonsalves/ I wrote to the guy pointing this out. Haven't heard from him, but I see now that he has changed the picture. I guess admitting your error is not part of the Indian journo education. http://www.goanews.com/news_disp.php?newsid=1842 Now I find that major news organizations in India have filched my photos. (What the morons don't realize is that I have a digital tracker encrypted in the photographs.) India being what it is, a land where the rule of law barely exists, legal recourse is not an option. Hindustan Times wrote to me asking for a photograph, but balked when I named my licensing fee. How nice of them to want to ride shotgun free on someone else's sweat and dime. Only Outlookindia.com has had the good sense to be professional in their inquiry.
