Intellectual Property is for Losers

Poor Kumu­dam. They pay peo­ple actual money to go gather news. Like this inter­view with A.R. Rah­man — a scoop by all stan­dards, because Rah­man can be hard to get hold of. They pub­lish the inter­view, and what happens?

The smart guys at Cine­south turn around and pub­lish the inter­view on their web­site. Attri­bu­tions? Bwa­ha­haha. You must be jok­ing. Since Kumu­dam takes a while to update their online page, it actu­ally appears like Cine­south did it first. Clever, na?

    This could be a press meet by A.R Rahman.

    I do not think you are right.…
    As a reader of cine­south, i can say that the interivews taken by them comes under sep­a­rate headings…

    I also remem­ber this inter­view of Rah­man com­ing in other Cine magazines..

    Peo­ple gen­er­ally con­sider them­selves to be intel­lec­tual when they talk about IPR ;-)

    Not a press meet. No. Kumu­dam clearly seems to say they met Rah­man, and has inter­viewer and pho­tog­ra­pher credits.

    Rajan, Does using a sep­a­rate head­ing qual­ify you to steal con­tent from other pub­li­ca­tions? Do you see any attri­bu­tions any­where in that cine­south arti­cle? I hate to gen­er­al­ize, but I will prob­a­bly be right if I say that cine­south gets most of their con­tent from other pub­li­ca­tions — offline and online. They are not the only web­site to do this, though.

    How could any­one jus­tify a sec­tion called “Nan­gal Sut­tavai” being under the paid sec­tion of a website?
