| Mid Day editor Sachin Kalbag slams Logical Indian, Twitter pic |
Staff, July 25, 2015, NewsCrunch
Mid Day editor Sachin Kalbag threatened to send a legal notice to Logical Indian after it copied a story without permission.
He was upset that Logical Indian had re-published a Mid Day story on a Mumbai diner refusing to pay service charges.
The hugely popular Logical Indian, aggregates feel-good stories from different publications, many a time copying large chunks of it. It, however, credits the original source and gives a hyperlink to them.
He recalled that he had earlier cautioned Logical Indian against using Mid Day content and had forced them to acknowledge a photograph.
Sachin Kalbag’s series of tweets on the subject seems to have made an impact. All Logical Indian photos now come with a disclaimer and email id; original copyright holders can send a mail and have their photos taken down. The “Via” link also seems to have vanished.
Sending a legal notice on Monday to The Logical Indian site for, once again, stealing this story from @mid_dayhttp://t.co/qZVdWXP928— Sachin Kalbag (@SachinKalbag) July 24, 2015
