Chief of eBay's Indian Site Arrested, Released
An anonymous reader writes "As reported, Avinash Bajaj, the CEO of Baazee.com, the Indian subsidiary of eBay, was arrested by the Indian police for distributing pornography. What really seems to have happened is that two high school students from Delhi Public School filmed themselves having oral sex, and this video was distributed through Delhi by email. Some time later, Ravi Raj Singh, a college student from IIT Delhi, offered his VCD of the 157-second clip for sale on Baazee. Avinash Bajaj has now been released on bail, but his U.S. passport is still impounded. AP report here." In reaction to the scandal, SoumyaRay writes, "the Indian government is planning a law based on the DMCA that would establish the responsibility of the corporation when dealing with copyrighted materials. The law 'would deal with four categories of functions by a service provider: transitory communications, system caching, storage of information on systems or networks and information location tools.' Does this differ in any major way with the DMCA? What is being overlooked and what is the potential for abuse? What would you propose?"
someone's gotta have it
A link to the .torrent?
Reuters story said that the girl was sent to Canada, and the guy was in deeeep trouble at home. Both of them were students at a private school, too.
:D
So this can only mean one thing - Hot Indian babes *do* put out!
Can I outsource myself to India now?
"...two high school students from Delhi Public School filmed themselves having oral sex..."
;)
"a college student from IIT Delhi, offered his VCD of the 157-second clip"
157 seconds... sheesh, they really need to learn to take their time and enjoy it
Canada is where it's at. KinK.
A girl who sleeps around but not with you is a "whore." A girl who prevents her friend, who sleeps around, from sleeping with you is a "cunt" or "bitch." A girl who sleeps around, and sometimes with you is an "um..friend" if somehow someone you know manages to catch you together. A girl who slept around, but now sleeps with you, and you see during the light of day is your "girlfriend." If you don't see that girl during the light of day, or if she hasn't met your friends except on accident, she thinks she is a "girlfriend" but in acctuality she is "mistaken."
Also, um... how do you know the animals don't care? Are they making comments or noises expressing their indifference, and how do you know it's not just you?
I can't say I disagree. She got dinner at the same time.

So, rich people in China are happier than poor people.

Wait, so in China, rich people were happier than poor people, but now that their richer, they're less happy?

if you will recall whem Apu's son caught two of the Springfield High School teachers in the broom closet. He later reported to Apu that the male teacher was groping her "like the many arms of ganesh".
Forced celebacy for everyone. Finally, I'll be on equal footing!
"Although in the video the girl is smiling and stuff."
I think you better get a lawyer...
(IANAL, in any case)
There was no Indian Anal in this film..period...Stop the fud.
Somehow "Free Bajaj" doesn't have the same feel to it.
The surprise isn't how often we make bad choices; the surprise is how seldom they defeat us.
Reminds me of the South Park Chinpokomon episode. Funny stuff...
The clip might be 157 seconds long, but 130 of those are the musical numbers.
Cool. Now maybe we'll get our jobs back.
What a pathetic attempt to use a media event / scandal to promote something unrelated to it! No one in India or elsewhere is worried about copyright here. The boy certainly hasn't made a claim for lost revenues! Whoever the shill is who is claiming that the MMS incident justifies an Indian DMCA ought to be embarrassed to be selling this bunk. There really is only one thing to say to an argument like this:
