Snapdeal does a “Snap steal”
In the latest case of online plagiarism SnapDeal stole Paavani’s “All rights reserved” image and used it on their website, complete with her watermark on the image! And of course without any permission because as always Snapdeal thought they would never get caught and that everything on the internet is for free. Have net, will steal.
Perhaps they are unaware that plagiarism is a legal offence and can snap them a deal of a fine of upto 2 lakhs and/or imprisonment for 6 months.
Paavani has written to them, however it seems Snapdeal isn’t as snappy in professional communication as they are in snapping up steals. Paavani has blogged about it here.
We await an update from Paavani. Following are her original image and snapdeal’s stolen image, which of course they quietly removed but forgot that computers have print screen key these days.
