Rasika Dasi, Oktober 13, 2010 — I don’t think that this thread was specifically about Aindra Prabhu’s book. In some countries executorship falls to the next of kin and in others, it’s government take all.
Whoever has the rights would be able to win over against anyone who put his books online because surely it wouldn’t be difficult to demonstrate that they had hurt sales. Fair is fair but I’m not for the mindset that everything is now up for grabs for anyone to put into the public domain because they have a misguided notion that “everything should be free to the world in this so-called information age”.
As for harinama, I’ve been observing the dwindling of this – and book distribution for decades now with great alarm and my pleas that we get out and do this core (practically our only) business has fallen on deaf ears whilst the pursuit of the dollar has blossomed. The result: nobody living in temples any more and receiving proper brahminical training, a mish-mash-hodge-podge congregation who have no idea of standards and procedures set down by Prabhupada and a complete lack of interest or even knowledge that we exist from “white Australia”.
