Need to file a Writ-petition ?? - Page 3

I don't really understand the concept of "conflict of interest" in this aspect. Is there a law which regulates partnerships/agreements between TV Channels and Phone companies in such a way?

Also, I kind of agree with Vsakhi - Reality Television IS about drama. There are over 200 reality shows running in USA alone and all of them make use of the participants in various ways to earn revenue and hype the show.

Because the problem is that our argument centres around "drama" and that brings in a very grey area of ethics and morals. To stop the drama could possibly => stopping a company from profiting and earning revenue.

Another thing: If people are foolish enough to spend money on SMS votes, then how can the channel and phone companies be blamed?

there is no law for this and thts why a case can not be filed... but a public litigation can be filed in mass public interest😊

Bingo....very good point T !!!

Instead of playing the blame game...maybe participants and in lil' champs case their parents should think twice before venturing into this.

It is after all for profit, no one is doing a samaj-seva here through these shows. All is out to profit....participants through the exposure they get, team of such shows through the revenues.

do u think they would nt earn profits without SMS and telephone money???
