Delhi High Court restores copyright infringement case at Delhi University

December 12, 2016

On Friday, the Delhi restored a trial over claims of copyright infringement from photocopying of study materials for  (DU). The charges of violation of copyright by DU's Rameshwari Photocopy Service were dismissed by justice Rajiv Sahan Endlaw in September saying there is no copyright infringement. But the bench of justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Yogesh Khanna said the case raises a "triable issue".

The bench restored the case, meanwhile still allowing the Rameshwari Photocopy Service to sell course packs containing copyrighted material of the publications of claimants, , and. The shop has been asked to report to the court every six months on what and how many course packs it photocopies and distributes.

The owner of the photocopy service shop, Dharam Pal Singh, said there was no reason for preparation of a course pack beyond the curriculum. He said the course pack had only readings the professors require or recommend; only important sections of the published books were photocopied.

"We declare that the law in India would not warrant an approach to answer the question by looking at whether the course pack has become a textbook, but by considering whether the inclusion of the copyrighted work in the course pack was justified by the purpose of the course pack", the bench said.

Dharam Pal said the students needed course packs because some books are limited by "availability, price and circulation". He said they are preserving data of some books last published more than half a century ago, and that some of the books cost more than 2000.

The High Court said it needs "expert evidence" to judge whether it is copyright violation or, as judge Sahani ruled, a fair use.

The case of copyright infringement was filled in the court in 2012. In September, Justice Endlaw said that, according to Section 52 of the Copyright Act, this instructional use did not amount to copyright infringement. He said, "Copyright, specially in literary works, is thus not an inevitable, divine, or natural right that confers on authors the absolute ownership of their creations." Endlaw added, "Copyright is intended to increase and not to impede the harvest of knowledge. It is intended to motivate the creative activity of authors and inventors in order to benefit the public."

Review of revision 4269413 [Passed]

 * Section 52 of the Copyright Act

The debate arises when the student reproduces the book for educational purposes or someone *selling* the copyrighted material and covering the act in the name of educational purpose. Agastya Chandrakant  ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  16:27, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

 * The specific provision cited in the dismissal was, iirc, "(i) by a teacher or a pupil in the course of instruction". --Pi zero (talk) 16:39, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * It would have been the case if the student walks into the shop, asks them to photocopy certain pages of the book (which he/she might have borrowed from the library) and obtains the copy. But, it is the shop who is distributing the course pack here. Agastya Chandrakant   ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  16:57, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Is getting into analysis, which should be on the opinions page. --Pi zero (talk) 17:53, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Detained journalist Mohamed Tamalt dies in Algeria

December 13, 2016

Mohamed Tamalt, a journalist imprisoned in Algeria for insulting President, died in hospital while serving his sentence. His lawyer on Sunday announced his death. Tamalt, 42, lived in England, basing himself in London, and had UK-Algerian. He was arrested on June 27 near his parents' Algiers home after writing a poem on Facebook. Human Rights Watch said he began a hunger strike immediately. On June 11 he was fined 200,000 (1,400; 1,800) and imprisoned for two years. This was upheld on appeal.

Tamalt fell into a coma which his lawyer, Amine Sidhoum, said lasted three months. He was undergoing treatment in Bab el-Oued hospital. Human Rights Watch had asked Algeria to release him when reportedly in critical condition in August.

Reporters Without Borders called Tamalt's death a shocking blow to Algerian free speech. "Why was there such a conviction just for words on Facebook which did no harm to anyone?" asked the organisation's North African head, Yasmine Kacha. Amnesty International have sought an "independent and transparent investigation into the circumstances" of Tamalt's death.

Tamalt was convicted of insulting President Bouteflika and defaming a public organisation, both breaches of the national Penal Code. Sidhoum told al-Jazeera the occasion marked "the first time since Algeria gained its independence from France that a journalist died in jail because of what he wrote on the Internet." He also said he was "really sad at the lack of support from his fellow Algerian journalists, who left him and abandoned him."

Sidhoum said Tamalt's funeral was scheduled for Monday. Afterwards, "we, his family and lawyers, will figure out in the following days what we can do to find out exactly what happened to him in prison." His family have alleged he was mistreated in prison and denied visits. Justice Minister in October promised investigations would uncover any wrongdoing by authorities.

The prison service said Tamalt was found to be suffering pneumonia, beginning treatment on December 4. It said this killed him. Amnesty spokesperson Brahim Mahdid in remarks to al-Jazeera said "we can't say for sure what the cause of his death was[...] Nor are we sure if Tamalt received the proper treatment during his hunger strike." Mahdid said local media were "facing increasing pressure" and "a hostile environment."

Judge rules Air Canada Flight 624 victims can sue Transport Canada

December 14, 2016

A judge at the Supreme Court yesterday ruled victims of   can sue  over the crash, which injured more than twenty. The action alleges Transport Canada was liable for a failure to enforce regulations under the. The authority is accused of failure to install an on the airport's main runway. According to Ray Wagner, lawyer for the plaintiffs, the authority's responsibility for safety gear — including navigational systems at the airport — was behind Justice Denise Boudreau's ruling certifying the class action against all defendants.

Transport Canada is the airport's former owner-operator.

Last year's crash saw the domestic flight from Toronto, carrying 133 passengers and five crew, hit the ground short of Runway 05 at. The jet ran 225 metres over the ground, hitting antennas, before sliding more than 500 metres along the runway. The aircraft was written off.

Suing passengers allege they waited exposed in blizzard conditions for 50 minutes before being moved to a cold hangar. The airport's terminal suffered an unexpected loss of power shortly after the crash.

The other defendants did not oppose yesterday's ruling certifying the case against them. They are Air Canada, the airport's authority, owner and operator of Canada's civil airspace navigation service, and aircraft manufacturer Airbus.

In April last year, days after the accident, Air Canada sent victims cheques for 5,000 each. Wagner at the time called it "a gratuity" that "certainly doesn't cover anywhere close to the losses," saying injuries included "deep psychological injuries."

Pakistan International Airlines sacrifices goat, resumes ATR flights

December 21, 2016

Images of Pakistan International Airlines sacrificing a goat went viral on Monday as the beleaguered state-run airline resumed flights. All ten ATRs in its fleet were grounded last week in the aftermath of a crash near earlier this month.

PIA ground staff ritually slaughtered the black goat beside an, the same type of aircraft lost in the disaster. The move is thought to ward off bad luck in Pakistan. The ATR-42 was the company's first ATR back in service following the crash. PIA said on December 15 they had chartered a from the  to resume cancelled services.

, an just under ten years old, crashed into mountainous terrain in the  region of  two weeks ago. The crash killed all 47 on board and left burning wreckage strewn for several kilometres.

PIA still operate five ATR-42s and five s. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced inspections on December 11. The airline expected disruption to flights to smaller airports. Flight 661 was heading to Islamabad, having taken off from on a domestic flight. The plane reported engine trouble and lost control before the crash.

PIA sacrificed the goat at Islamabad's, ahead of a successful test flight to. PIA stated ground staff acted on their own volition and were not influenced by managers.

Another PIA ATR experienced troubles ahead of takeoff on December 11 and aborted the flight. The airline denied local media claims an engine caught fire. Pakistani media has claimed Flight 661 was operating with some known technical faults.  reports receiving information to the contrary, and the airline also denies this.

The CAA has left decisions on returning aircraft to service at the discretion of PIA and ATR. A CAA letter to PIA expressed concern over engine failures at the airline, and accused PIA of "shortcomings in maintenance [and] quality assurance."

The latest crash is the tenth time a PIA aircraft has been written off since 2000. Only one other such accident was fatal, the loss of in 2006. Flight 668, a, crashed on takeoff. The disaster killed 45. That accident also involved an engine failure and a loss of control.

The ATR-42 can carry up to 48 passengers. It is a twin-engine turboprop capable of using unpaved runways. PIA said the C-130 would be used for flights to. With one ATR-42 declared airworthy as of December 15 PIA also said flights to Chitral could be expected to resume soon. A flight on December 15 using the C-130 was postponed by one day.

Chairman Azam Saigol quit on December 12 for what he said were personal reasons. He had been drafted in to replace Nasser Jaffer following controversy generated when crews staged strikes to protest planned privatisation. The airline loses around 12-to-15 billion annually, with taxpayers making up the shortfall.

Saigol has been on PIA's board since 2013. The company said it needed a chair since changing organisational structure under provisions in the Companies Ordinance of 1984. He became chairman in May and is a prominent industrialist nationally, heading up major organisations. Saigol had been working for free, PIA said on December 12 ahead of his resignation.

The government has offered his job to several candidates, all of whom have turned it down.

Another issue for the airline comes in the form of a recently-submitted notice in the. Filed by the People's Party of Pakistan, it describes an 'illegal' sale of a PIA to a German firm. Senator Saleem Mandviwalla said the jet had a valid certificate of airworthiness and originally went to Malta to be used in a film. Mandviwalla said the plane ended up in the hands of a German museum and was sold without the PIA board's consent. Federal Minister said the aircraft was sold for for 290,000 s despite being worth millions. Mandviwalla has called for a criminal investigation.

In the continuing Safety Investigation Board's investigation into Flight 661's crash, a team of French and Canadian experts from ATR reached Islamabad on December 12 and took forensic samples from the wreck site. The team, assisting the safety board, was also there to plan wreckage removal.

The crash site is remote, with conventional vehicular access ending several kilometres away. Rescuers had to walk the remainder.

PIA state the aircraft was maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, including engine changes. The airline also say the crashed plane's engines were inspected, as standard, ahead of its final flight. An airline spokesperson asked journalists to refrain from speculating on the accident's cause.

Bodies have been identified using DNA analysis, with at least sixteen returned to families. Identification was undertaken by the (PIMS).

The dead included six members of the same family, leaving behind a fourteen-year-old girl. Haseena Gul is entitled to tens of millions of rupees (equivalent to hundreds of thousands of ) in compensation and numerous people have come forward claiming to be her relatives; she had remained with a friend in Chitral to study while her family travelled to Islamabad.

Gul is currently receiving treatment from PIMS for psychological problems. "They will not let me study in Chitral," she appealed to the government. "Please have me shifted to Islamabad where I can study and fulfil my parents' dream."

Also on board was, a celebrated popstar who abandoned music in favour of preaching after joining. Jamshed ran a nationally successful fashion business. His wife joined him on the flight. Other passengers included Osama Warraich, who was a senior civil servant in Chitral, and two infants.

On Monday, Flight 898 to diverted to. A replacement aircraft reached its destination over four hours late. PIA denied media claims the original plane suffered bursts in its hydraulics, but did not clarify what had happened. Also on Monday Flight 764 from from to  arrived ten hours late. All 130 passengers had their luggage left behind; PIA said it could take up to two days before they were reunited with their belongings.

German
Depending on the details it may be possible to carefully handle a source in German. However, this is one of only two sources here and I suspect it will require advanced knowledge of German. Such little German as I had (never sufficient for review) has decayed. I'm not sure we have anybody capable of reviewing this. BRS (Talk)   (Contribs) 18:59, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * in the sports articles related to transfer, I generally list the article in its native language, here, being German. But, I also add the link to the English version of the same article which is the exact translation of the German version. The reason why I do this is for the translated quote.

Thread:Comments:Detained journalist Mohamed Tamalt dies in Algeria/Abandonment issues

It's striking that Tamalt's lawyer accused Algeria's journalists of abandoning their fellow. As noted, Algerian journos are having a tough time of it and the prison gates loom large. Yet, in the UK we have... Well, not no such problems, but nothing even vaguely comparable. This man was a UK national working from London and I'd never heard of him. Algerian media has at least been cautiously needling at various authorities, prompting ministerial response. Where were the Brits?

I can't comment on the fairness of the accusation, having only just got up to speed with the situation; I can say with confidence the Algerian press are not the ones who should be bearing the lion's share of the legal team's disappointment. Like a parent scolding a child, the lawyer doesn't seem mad... Just disappointed. So am I.

Evacuation corridor allows rebels and civilians to leave Aleppo

December 15, 2016

At 3:00 GMT today, a cease-fire took effect between Syria's Russian-backed al-Assad regime and the rebels who have been fighting for control of Aleppo for the past four years. Evacuation of rebels and civilians is underway. Buses and ambulances provided by the International Committee of the Red Cross, Syrian Red Crescent, and the al-Assad government arrived in the city's rebel enclave to evacuate rebels, their families and other residents to the nearby rebel-held towns of Khan al-Asal and Khan Touman. By 10:00 GMT, local noon, about 950 people were on their way out of Aleppo. Many rebels are also leaving on their own vehicles.

Russian military's General Staff, General, says the "humanitarian corridor" is 21 kilometers long, 6 kilometers of which passes through territory controlled by the al-Assad government. According to the, the regime has guaranteed the evacuees' safety, but Ibrahim Abu Allaith of the claims pro-government forces fired on departing injured persons, killing one and wounding four.

Independent journalist Zouhir al-Shimale reported: "Civilians are given the choice to stay or leave. If they stay, they'll be under regime control. Most of the people want to go because they are afraid of potential massacres by the regime."

The ultimate destination of the evacuees is, which the says is likely to be targeted by barrel bombs and besieged.

The evacuation was scheduled to begin earlier this week but was interrupted by fighting on Wednesday.

With a population of 2.3 million, Aleppo was Syria's largest city, the center of much of its industrial and commercial activity, and a site.

Australian Federal Court orders ISPs to block copyright infringing sites

December 17, 2016

On Thursday, the Australian ordered s to block websites which infringe copyright. The court required five websites be blocked —, , , , and SolarMovie. In the first case of site blocking under new Australian legislation, the court asked the companies to block access to these websites within fifteen business days. The ISPs are free to choose the method of blocking; options include, blocking IP addresses and URL blocking.

The court has asked the copyright holders to pay up to 50 to the ISPs for each domain to be blocked. After successful blocking of these websites they are to be replaced by a landing page showing an "access denied" message as well as a notice the website "infringes or facilitates the infringement of copyright."

Peter Tonagh, the chief executive of copyright holders said, "This judgment is a major step in both directly combating piracy and educating the public that accessing content through these sites is not OK, in fact it is theft".

Graham Bruke, co-executive of the other copyright holder in the case,, in October called people who pirate the copyrighted material "leeches and thieves" and compared them to heroin sellers. Foxtel and Village Roadshow plan to block over 50 websites.

The operators of SolarMovie and the torrent websites did not attend the court hearing.

Various Linux distributions like, and  allow users to download the  operating system through torrents.

The point about Linux
Though it is not mentioned in the sources, these distributions allows users to download the OS from a torrent client and also hosts the ISO files on Pirate Bay.

 * Ubuntu (calls torrents fast and reliable for fielding large files)
 * OpenSUSE Agastya Chandrakant  ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  19:16, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Review of revision 4270492 [Passed]

 * If this would have happened a couple of months ago, I might not have mentioned that on talk. I would have told Pi zero about this on IRC. But there are so many other distros which are famous and widely used. I could not think of adding them and not making the article look unbalanced in terms of focus.

Original presentation
Hi. I'm afraid that article hasn't been going smoothly; frustrating all around — it's really hard to know, as a reviewer, what needs to be said to a new contributor as each has their own unique skill set. This particular story involved an especially high proportion of direct quotation by the sources, as most of what was known was apparently from the Council statement (probably because they were advised to make no further comment); and there seems to have been some miscommunication about the use of direct quotation, which I'll consider adding a bit more about somewhere-or-other in our documentation (perhaps at WN:Attribution). Usually a new contributor's first few articles, especially the first, are major learning experiences, as we have a notoriously steep initial learning curve; but for most people it's also a short learning curve, after which things get much easier. (Plenty of veteran Wikinewsies didn't manage to get their first article published, in fact.) --Pi zero (talk) 14:19, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:Australian Federal Court orders ISPs to block copyright infringing sites/Effectiveness

I wonder if anybody has published research yet into the effectiveness of these blocks? We've been doing it in the UK for a little while now, but bypassing them is trivial. Site mirrors are everywhere, and the technologically adept (i.e. not me) can always use VPNs. That doesn't mean people will, however; some will give up remarkably easily, just as some will go to remarkable lengths to carry on as normal. I'm left deeply dissatisfied with the numbers game; how many are actually deterred?

Thread:Comments:Evacuation corridor allows rebels and civilians to leave Aleppo/Funding of Syrian rebels

The article comments about the Syrian government being 'Russian backed', but does not appear to state who is funding and arming the rebels? As with any proxy war it takes two to tango.

Thread:Comments:Australian Federal Court orders ISPs to block copyright infringing sites/Effectiveness/reply (2)

I believe that even if in the short term these blocks will be effective, the internet will find a way to route around them.

Remember that the first file sharing technologies didn't rely on web sites and where not susceptible to such blocks. I expect that if push really comes to shove, we'd see something like that (only much better) come back, and torrents on the web will remain the exclusive domain of Linux distributions.

Check wikipedia for Saudi Arabian support to Syrian Opposition in the Syrian Civil War and Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War. Reading and research required as simple visuals are deceptive on exact involvement and scale.

Despite defectors, U.S. electoral college affirms Trump presidency

December 21, 2016

The voted on Monday to place Republican businessman Donald Trump in the presidency. In most election years, this is a formality. However, with Trump's loss of the popular vote by a margin of 2.7 million, allegations of Russian hacking, and concerns, such as those expressed by Texas elector that Trump "shows daily he is not qualified for the office," liberal voters and anti-Trump protest groups had hoped the electors would deny Trump the 270 votes he would need to be inaugurated on January 20.

The president-elect issued a statement: "This election represents a movement that millions of hard working men and women all across the country stood behind and made possible. With this historic step we can look forward to the bright future ahead. I will work hard to unite our country and be the president of all Americans. Together, we will make America great again." Trump received 304 of the 306 votes he had been pledged and Hillary Clinton 227 of 232 for a total of seven. Five whose constituencies went for Clinton voted for former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Bernie Sanders or who opposed the. Two Republican electors, both from Texas, whose votes were slated for Trump engaged in a, one for Ohio governor and one for Ron Paul. Several other Democrats and one Republican who had announced their intentions in advance were either replaced or resigned.

While tradition dictates that electors must vote according to their constituencies, only 29 U.S. states and the District of Columbia actually have laws requiring them to do so, and there is no constitutional or federal law on the matter. In the remaining 21 states, electors are technically permitted to cast their votes as they see fit. No faithless elector has ever been prosecuted.

Thread:Comments:Australian Federal Court orders ISPs to block copyright infringing sites/Good sides & Bad sides

Hey,

Of course those websites do offer a lot of illegal pirated copies and hacking work, sometimes even really bad pornography. But I, for example, have got very bad internet connection and Torrent downloads for freeware (non-pirated) software are a true blessing.

Also, talking effectiveness, it will just make it harder for people like me to access those sites, you can't remove a website like that. If you do it, then do it properly, and I bet they do not have the resources to do that, like it was done with other websites from which only old backups exist on the internet atm. I think it's good that they try to make sure that the internet becomes a fair marketplace, but if I would want to access illegal copies I could still do that, there are millions of huge websites which offer them, not that I would ever download a pirated copy of anything unless it's freeware anyways. I don't think that this will have any big effect, only good ol' grandma can't download her pirated copy of MW3 anymore. For anyone who has the time and the understanding to make a few searches on google, duckduckgo, bing (as if) or whatever else there is no real blockage possible.

The best example for that is WikiLeaks, which has gone a long way of literally bering raided by the US and pretty much every big company on earth; but guess what's still accessible, even trough a simple google search; WikiLeaks. Of course, for example KickAssTorrents has been downed, but even then, there are still copies of the whole website online, not that I would visit those, they're probably infected with all kinds of malware, maybe even AIDS, man, who knows.

I know it does not really come across like it, but I'm being serious. I think that blocking these Websites is b******t. Not only because I am using those more or less legally to improve download speed, but also because it does nothing really.

Have a nice day and stay warm everyone!

Thread:Comments:Despite defectors, U.S. electoral college affirms Trump presidency/Kudos for an objective article

I would like to express personal appreciation for an objective article on a subject which has been characterized by endless hype in other electronic news media.

Wikimedia Foundation projects such as wikinews are maintaining and daily improving a well-earned reputation for accuracy and objectivity in reporting. It can safely be said in most cases that anyone interested in the most objective account of a current event ought to go to wikinews and wikipedia first.

I don't assert we're objective in every single case, or that the first version of a wiki article's always NPOV, but I do say that (unlike most of the other electronic media) we have an active, adversarial in-house mechanism to assure as close to a neutral point of view in our articles as human beings can provide. No other electronic news medium appears to be doing that. In particular, the Washington Post and New York Times have a chronic problem both with separating editorial comment from news content, and with assuring accuracy of their reporting (as the Jayson Blair incident shows).

I think wikinews ought to be better known and promoted as an objective news source - specifically because more care is taken here to eliminate political and other bias in reporting than in other electronic news media.

Thread:Comments:Despite defectors, U.S. electoral college affirms Trump presidency/Kudos for an objective article/reply

Well, thanks. The different properties of news versus encyclopedic writing prevent the Wikipedian approach from working here; so Wikinews goes about achieving neutrality differently — each wikimedian project works out its own approach to the crucial issue of neutrality. Wikipedia's approach is, as you allude, a matter of applying many editors and however much time it takes. That can work remarkably well (in practice though not in theory, as the saying goes) if you've got the time. By the nature of news, though, we don't have time for open-ended discussion of how to tell a story; and news is, by definition, vetted before publication. We can't publish a pile of facts and later fix the mistakes or rethink the overall presentation. We need an approach to neutrality that can be applied simply, quickly, and reliably by a reporter who has opinions of their own (if we limited reportage to Zen masters who reserve judgement on everything... well, it sure wouldn't be an open wiki). The main trick is to transform the story into just objective facts: we don't ourselves analyze the story, we don't endorse opinions or controversial claims, but we can still report objectively, with high confidence, that somebody else expressed an opinion, made a claim. Like the difference between "the fire started in a third-floor apartment" and "fire officials said the fire started in a third-floor apartment".
