Hypocrisy at it's best!


I have pointed out before in one of my posts that Gargee is not the first person to be given a chance to explain.

Many times I have PM-ed Jot about authors that were thought to be plagiarising under inspiration and they were given a chance to explain as well.

If you are trying to say that we all are fighting for her to explain herself and are condoning plagiarism, then I am sorry to say you are wrong in those regards.

But dont you already give the general disclaimer ki known characters, scenes, plots 4Lions ke hain blah blah?

And if this, despite of the above, is indeed plagiarism then I am guessing more than half of us are offenders.

Doesnt a FF by definition mean a FAN's TAKE on a show, song, film etc etc etc???? So wont they be basing their FF's on something from the show itself, even if just the character names in case of AU FFs?


I don't know man...I don't know -___-

Lazy, she has adapted from the story but she has gone wrong in two things:

1) she did not give credit

2) she copied the first chapter.

That changes the ball game, and yes it does classify under plagiarism. We are not digressing as Gargee claimed that she is adopting from the novel, and as readers/writers it was important to have that line cleared out between what is plagiarism and what is not.

Discussing any of this, in no way, defends what Gargee has done. Discussing this does not make somebody a defender of Gargee nor does it make what Gargee did alright.

How does discussing turn into bias? How does asking whether adapting from a story and what classifies under it become a bias?
I have already pointed out several times in my posts that what you have said and pointed out is true, however there are certain doubts in people's minds in regards to this and there is nothing wrong to have this cleared.





What Gargee did was adaptation? Editing the chapters and changing the names of the characters is adaptation? Then what the heck is plagiarism? The non edited version?

Now I AM confused!

So If I do what she did and then for the later chapters, I do whatever I want to with the story, that will NOT be plagiarism?

I think it has been written enough times by everyone here that Gargee is in the wrong. What is now being debated as a WHOLE is

a. Difference between inspiration and adaptation and what is allowed on IF.
b. Should those accused of plagiarism be given a chance to explain themselves.

Again, it has already been stated by ALL that Gargee not giving credit to original author before the rap on the knuckles was WRONG.

I have clearly stated right after that sentence that her copying the chapters was wrong!

Her idea of taking the story's concept and using it is adaptation, but copying the chapters is wrong!

But I don't understand this, and I don't want the title of a plagiariser hanging over my head.

If scenes are being considered under plagiarism now, then trust me, I am an offender!



Krani, since I follow AM, I can tell you that you have been inspired from the guesthouse scene - the volcanic eruption of Khushi. Your setting was different, your dialogues were different, A and K were in two different situations. Toh plagiarism kaise hua?

But the whole essence of pushing him, shoving him, screaming at him was guesthouse.

In the recent episodes, Khushi falls from a stool, and Arnav catches her - that is another scene that is done to death in IPKKND.

You know the trailer I have made for Arranged Marriage? All the scenes in that trailer are my inspiration and are going to be incorporated some way or another in my story.

My argument is that if scenes are now considered plagiarism, then according to the rules Arranged Marriage is plagiarising scenes. Therefore according to the new rules, if the MODs decide that it needs to be trashed, then so be it.

Then why call it adaptation in the first place when whatever has been posted till now is copied? Just because she said in her note that it is an adaptation?

That way 90% FFs will be trashed.

I have not seen the trailer yet as I always read the updates from phone :( Abhi trailer dekhe ka padhi. I might get some spoilers ;)

If we indeed go by this logic, then all of us are so out of the forum. Like OUT. :p
