The legal issue doesn’t seem false to me though the jail concept is no breakthrough idea this can happen. So how can they go ahead with the show if there is a court order?
No the jail concept is not original, just like BB, talent, reality, dance, soaps etc... or a thousand other shows that get produced all over the world using a concept made popular in another country, the brake offs and the copies in many languages are bound to happen because it is natural that people want to watch in the language they are comfortable with. Truth be told there is very little that is original in this world because the human experience lends itself to repeat, with new generations discovering something "new" to them but that has been around for a long time. The only thing that can be original in a tale or concept is not the concept itself but the delivery of it, that is where copyright comes in, example: you cannot copyright a recipe that has salt, onions, potatoes... because no one can copyright those items, but you can claim the recipe as yours when you describe a way of making it in your own words and in particular if you make a video or own images of the process, then if someone uses those that is infringement.
Love or romances are also good examples, tales have been told millions of times so it is not as you put it breakthrough, yet romances are made because Love is not the message the delivery is.
Maybe they are so lazy that they copied this guys work verbatim, the court must of found something so grossly obvious that they ruled for a stay.
My point is that finding that they ripped off someone's hard work is not a surprise, I believe it, because of the track record of both ekta and kangana, however what I also know for a fact is that after the initial blabbering it will be swept under the rug, the content creator will get shafted or bought off and ekta will produce her show and claim originality, because in India rules are bent to favor corruption and money & everyone accepts it. Both women have done it openly and blatantly before and the judicial & the public accept it. It is just fact that consistently ethics are voided. That is why kangana and people like her are so proactive in wanting Twitter, Hollywood and many other information venues banned, to keep people ignorant and feed them lies as their original work...
Just for the record I can tell you it is heartbreaking and demoralizing to the point of annihilation when hard work is stolen.
By the way Priya185 for what it's worth I want to tell you I appreciate and look forward to reading what you post, just like I enjoy all those who are active on the forum and give their opinion with conviction, I may not always agree with them, but contributing is always worthy or otherwise there would be nothing to come in here for. News can be gotten anywhere, opinions not.
Peace.
