as a lawyer, I find the most difficult problem with being an activist is the lack of clients who are willing to fight all the way. As you appear to be such a client, I suggest you contact an activist lawyer - Software Law Forum has an office in Delhi and would be the ideal people to approach. As for fees, dont worry, we will all chip in. The key point is not to go to some idiot lawyer who loses the case and screws up the field for everyone else. Personally I wouldn't trust a lawyer who makes a quote for a whole case. How can he predict it is going to cost 12,000? It is not some run-of-the-mill case, it is the first of it's kind in India. I would also suggest getting the help of other activist luminaries like lawrence liang and eben moglen to help draft the complaint. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
