A sixth grader, through his father, has sued officials at the President House at the Islamabad High Court, accusing them for plagiarising and using his speech without his consent.

Eleven-year-old Mohammad Sabeel Haider, who studies in Islamabad Model College for Boys, told DawnNews on Friday that he was chosen to deliver a speech at the President House in Islamabad on Dec 22.

The ceremony was recorded and is supposed to be aired on Pakistan Television on Dec 25, marking the 141st birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

However, when Sabeel arrived at the President's House, he was informed he will no longer be delivering the speech.

He said in his petition that a tenth-grader delivered the speech he had written and prepared, alleging that his intellectual property was stolen.

According to Sabeel's lawyer, as per Section 3 of Intellectual Property and Copyrights Ordinance 1967, a literary piece that the person has produced themselves cannot be used by a third party without their consent.

The court's judgement in this regard has been reserved.

But you can't get justice from the judiciary of this country.

If he copyrighted it then he have a case. But even then if his coprighted literature is not used for profit then he already lost, which is the case here.

That's not how copyright works, especially when it comes to art and literature. Not all copyright material is registered, there is also a creative commons license (I believe it's called) as well that the accused has to worry about.

All the crown has to prove is that the accused plagerized some one else's work.
