M.S.Yatnatti Let us consider three persons, Appu, Pappu and Babli. (all are fictitious names). Appu has created one painting, each beautiful and delightful. Appu explicitly says that any body is free to modify and / or redistribute the paintings so long as:- 0. The redistributor allows the person getting a copy to redistribute. 1. Modifications / modified copies should be clearly marked. 2. If modified copies are being distributed, there should be a pointer to the original. 3. the person(s) receiving a copy is free is use it any way he wants. And Millions of other artistes like Appu have created such images and released on same terms. Papu scans it on to a CD and distributes them. He calls the CD "Pappu Ka CD". Now, comes Babli. Babli says:- <quote> Is it any court has resolved this issue or Appu has resolved this issue or Copyright Holders have resolved this issue or Pappu has filed any case against redistributing the Pappu ka CD and has won the case </quote> I am speechless. Pappu can create the CD only because Appu and others have given permission to copy and redistribute their Images. Appu and /or anybody else cannot create a CD and call it "Pappu ka CD". That is common sense. You cannot steal other's property. That is commonsense, I mean, that is the law. but some people do steal. Several are not caught. Several of those who are caught, are not prosecuted. Several of those who are prosecuted _and_ found guilty, are not punished. So?? Go ahead and steal? -- Mahesh T.
