Srikanth,
There is copyright law in India for last many decades and most people were/are following
the same before wikipedia had not taken a birth. There is no need to make generic comments
on Indians for no reason. We are Indians and we should be proud of that.....
With Regards,

Actually I do because there is a note: "Important Note : The publisher ( The Indian

You are
free to forward just the links. Reproducing verbatim elsewhere might not go well with
"fair use". Also heard elsewhere on another list on the same topic that news is
meant to be shared, so no harm. Frankly all this obsession on copyright only after editing
Wikipedia, otherwise since when people in India thought of copyright seriously.
