I was browsing through the pages of Mathrubhumi weekly (Malayalam) and I was stumbled upon their book reviews section. The reason was a cover picture of one book that they had reviewed in their literary review section which resembled a photo that I took back in 2006 in Nileshwaram, Kasaragod district. I was curious because it looked like an exact copy of the picture that I had taken.
Jo finds one of his images off Flickr plagiarized by a photographer. In spite of sending a legal notice, the publisher Pranatha Books had refused to credit him for the photo [hat tip: Mridula].
