My question: Sirish, do you know this for SURE -- like 100 per cent sure -- or are you just making this up to score a point here? Yes, there were Sajha discussions about BG's supposed acts ofplagiarism, if I remember correctly, in a couple of instances. True, BG left Kantipur shortly thereafter. BUT I don't think those Sajha discussions led to his being "kicked out of Kantipur Publication", as you seem to assert here. [Believe me, Kantipur knows it has quite a few occasional plagiarists in its midst , but is unable do much against them. That's because, as any Nepali editor will tell you, finding good media talents and retaining them is so damn difficult in Nepal.] [BG, by the way, is still the Associated Press or AP correspondent in Nepal, and his reports continue to go worldwide through the AP wires.] My suggestion: Look, I am neither a fan nor a friend of BG. But if I were you, I would NOT jump to such conclusions about him in PUBLIC unless I have sort sort of a solid proof from Kantipur Publications. As you friend, Sirish, I owe you this much of public nudging. **** As for RSubedi, I, as a reader, am NOT going to lose sleep over whether he violated some copyright laws or some copyright morality. The issue is too trifle to make any coherent copyright case out of it. So long as RSubedi did NOT make money off other people's news-gathering/ideas, and so long as his appeared to be an attempt -- even a clumsy attempt -- to share a piece of news about Nepal with others, I, as a reader, am willing to thank him for his effort and move on. Tetti ho, yaar. oohi ashu
