OK ants are hardworking so lets get to work. We have to pull the wagon and we have to push it in the direction we want. Most of us have read the story of the ant and the grasshopper so lets get busy while the sun is shining. The copyright issue took us 10 years and now part 2 of the war has started. In the interim we can tackle this little thing. 1. Vikas please find the address of this lab-preferably the registered office address and the name of the big shot-CEO/Chairman/MD 2. Please someone type the issue-I am not good with technical words. Explain what is happening and what is not. 3. Then the legal blah blah I will add. 4. Soldier ants lets go for it....
