Plagarism

It was brought to my attention that I had been plagarized recently. I ran the gamut from flattered to angry throughout the day yesterday. The Ahmedabad Mirror, a subsidiary of Times of India, printed (online) an article I wrote and posted here on April 15, 2008 about making films without a budget. I had written this piece, at the request of a friend, for the Ahmedabad Film Festival. Apparently, someone directly involved with the festival, one Shiladitya Bora, took the piece and submitted it under his name.

I have received an apology from the newspaper, printed today. Now I would like to get an apology from Mr. Bora and perhaps some compensation for the fee he received for the piece. We shall see what is forthcoming.
