Thomas Abraham's Rebuttal on Parallel Importation: by Pranesh Prakash — published Feb 10, 2011 — last modified Aug 04, 2011 04:47 AM — filed under: Consumer Rights, Copyright, Access to Knowledge
We engaged in an e-mail conversation with Thomas Abraham, the managing director of Hachette India, on the issue of parallel importation of books into India. We thought it would be in the public interest to publish a substantive part of that conversation. In this post he points at great length how our arguments are faulty. While we still believe that he doesn't succeed, we hope this will clarify matters a bit.

Why Parallel Importation of Books Should Be Allowed: by Pranesh Prakash — published Jan 25, 2011 — last modified Feb 01, 2019 05:41 PM — filed under: Intellectual Property Rights, Copyright, Access to Knowledge
There has been much controversy lately with some publishers trying to stop the government from amending s.2(m) of the Indian Copyright Act, clarifying that a parallel import will not be seen as an "infringing copy". This blog post argues that the government should, keeping in mind the larger picture, still go ahead and legalise parallel imports.
