Sharing newspaper PDFs illegal, a threat to the society: INS
DELHI: The circulation of newspaper PDFs by social media groups is illegal, said Indian Newspaper Society.
According to the industry body of media outlets, the practice that has gained steam since March lockdown is in violation of intellectual property rights, and apart from hurting the industry, is a potential threat to the society.
According to INS, mass circulation of such PDFs is robbing the media outlets of revenue and impacting their ability to invest in collecting and publishing credible news.
A large pool of journalists, production and distribution staff is involved in publishing a newspaper. But dedicated groups have emerged, who copy the paper early in the morning and distribute online, either for monetary or social gains. This is like releasing pirated versions of a movie on the web before its theatrical release, said Manish Jain, vice-president, INS.
