Hi Srinidhi,<BR/><BR/>It is very sad that your copyright has been voilated by TOI, which is a shame for them, irrespective of whether they give any heat to it.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, to answer your question. There is no practical way to save your image from being copied over Internet and used without given a credit. However, you can always use a license such as creative commons - http://

This is indeed a shameful thing for a high profile newspaper to do.

We at IRFCA (Indian Railway Fan Club Association) have resigned to this fate. Almost every month (and some times more than once), some or the other newspaper will lift some picture from our gallery (http://www.irfca.org/gallery/main.php) and will use it without giving any credit. No amount of complain will make them see the light.<BR/><BR/>- Shanx

It may sound irony to you, but the fact is TOI is the biggest ever plagiarism organization in India. Most of the wall street web logs and journal posts appear in TOI Business section on the next day. <BR/><BR/>Bad is they don't even mention the source. Media at its worst for sure. As the good old saying goes.. India and Plagiarism can never be separated. Shame on you TOI.

Man this is becoming a habit with the media folks!! Lets start a tag... asking everyone we know to write about blog plagiarism by the media on October 2 featuring all the incidents we know about. I'll write in more detail on my blog. And you have my unqualified support.

@ Rajesh<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the support. May be it was some interns who prepared that report and copied photo?<BR/><BR/>@ Hari<BR/>You can start practicing law from now itself? How about sending a legal notice to TOI on my behalf? ;)<BR/><BR/>@ Jennifer<BR/>Yes, this trend is common all over like a virus...<BR/><BR/>Yes, even in our college times copying from elsewere were rampant.

Hi Shrinidhi,<BR/>I have been seeing this happen to a lot of bloggers (in India, because this is the majority of blogs I follow) and am really curious as to 'Why India?' I have a question for you and your blog readers- how do we know the educational system does not encourage this? I say this with a background having been an American earning my MA in India (Chennai). I was surprised how many times

Shrinidhi, I'm now a law college student.<BR/><BR/>In three years time you can ask me for legal help and all :-)<BR/><BR/>Don't worry, I'm sure the TOI will respond. If they don't, make sure you follow up and take legal action.<BR/><BR/>Big media houses need to learn some lessons on common courtesy, decency and observing the proper ethics, especially with relation to Intellectual Property.
