In Protest, we unite

It was more than a month back Yahoo was accused of plagiarism. Along with uniting the bloggers against this, mails were sent to the corporate headquarters to bring to their attention. Though attention was got, there was no action ever since the mails streamed down to Yahoo India. It is really surprising to see how ignorant they have been in this issue. Over the last month lot of drama have been played and unfolded in front of boologam. There have been real attempts to wash their hands off and blaming the vendors. They may be true in that, but why should the end user be worried about it. Yahoo, you are an advantage only till you are clean. Once you are caught red handed you are at the mercy of the victim.

Yahoo!, its time for you to rise and 'shine' (if they can). We dont want you to be the role model for the world ahead. Its time..... not for you in this case of copyrights infringement, but for any corporate or individual, big and small to keep their emotions and ego aside and acknowledge their opposition. Your mistake should not be evaluated by the size of your opposition; and a weak opposition will not nullify your mistake. I can hear the twister just waiting for a touchdown.
