India threatens BBC over rapist interview

BBC has bought the rights to the documentary. Restrictions will not apply since they signed absolutely nothing. The restrictions are claimed against the filmmaker which is pretty much non-enforceable.

You have limited understanding. The documentary was made and right sold fraudulently without meeting the obligations. The permissions provided would involve paper-work with stipulated conditions, its not all airy-fairy, you know.

The BBC was informed of these infringements, yet they chose to go ahead. GoI is would be well within their rights to revoke BBC's license. Then BBC can keep whining about it all they want.

Again Indian law, has no real relevance overseas. No legal obligation to follow it. The parents have actually given the approval & they were the ones who wanted the name to be revealed. No lawsuit will anyway apply on overseas distribution of the documentary.

Contracts aren't limited to a country, else no multi-national corp would ever be able to do business without serious issues. Setting that aside, my response would be terminate BBC and its affiliates in India and go after whoever ties with them.

They violated Indian norms, thus revoke their license in India. What they do elsewhere is their call.

Interesting mentality. So if a foreigner reports rampant paedophilia in India it will be ignored unless an Indian actually considers it wrong?


No sir.
It was our media that spearheaded this campaign .Foreign.media came only after that .That means we have a full fledged media systems we dont need foreigners support.
 
Are we perfect, my friend? I don't understand this inherent fear of "the foreigner" and how "we" don't need their help. I really don't understand what the problem is...



And the so called filmmmaker passed some comments about Indian society.This also should be a warning to other foreign media .
 
Not everyone respects a victim like you
So are you saying essentially there is a significant percentage in India that believes that rape victims deserve what they get?

And how is highlighting an issue point scoring?

Its like someone having bad breath and expecting everyone to ignore them until they decide to fix it themselves.
