Dear all, On Friday the Rajya Sabha is due to debate the Copyright Amendment Bill, which (amongst many things) increases term of copyright in photographs from 60 years from publication of the photo to 60 years after death of the photographer (while the international standard is 25 years from publication).
Please oppose this by e-mailing your Rajya Sabha representative: http://goo.gl/6CMXC
I apologize for the horrible formatting of that selection form (which should get fixed soon to ensure that your states' RS MPs alone are shown). Since time is of the essence, we decided to go ahead any way.
Regards, Pranesh
Thank you, Pranesh.
I hope you will consider supporting this petition.
Best,

Thank you Pranesh for sharing this. This interests the Wikimedians , many of us regularly uploads copyright expired images to Wikimedia Commons. I have also supported the petition. But do you really think the international standard is 25 years ? I really doubt !

hi,
Today (Sept 2, for those who read this later) was a Friday. Was the bill discussed in the Rajya Sabha today?
If so, any updates on what happened?

Thank you.
