This might mean that the revenue generated from ads shown in that mallu site spreading rumours/debates/movie downloads are credited to someone in Jammu Kashmir...What an idea
We have been hearing of cyber crimes for a while, but little did we think that the dark shadow looming over our head could morph into such a demon charging on you.
It might have come as a surprise to many of the users of kerals.com, that they were trespassing into mafialand, wooed by the glitter of the stolen contents - photos, literature et al from various malayalam blogs, if not by the porn let loose in their sister concerns (malayalampadam.com).
The mafia colurs started to break free after one of the bloggers reported theft. Threats, abuse, stalking followed on to the bloggers who refused to get frightened by the mafia lord, one Mr ShivKumar in this case, and his accomplices.
Incidently ShivKumar and co have everything going against them, but the goons they are, simply mocks at the law
1. Content theft, copyright violations
2. Threat/ abuse mails
3. Cyber stalking
4. New movies made available for download on their sites illegally
5. The notorious link to the porn industry.
6. Fake addresses on their registrations.

As it turns out Mr. Shivkumar has now felt the heat and has resorted to play into tamil sentiments with a fake story (see http://injipennu.com/). With all the mafia background coming to surface this did not come as a surprise.
Inji need to be commended for her stand and should not let hese criminals get away with thier act. Sue them Inji !!
This post is in protest against the harassement meted out to those who raised their voices. I condemn these fascist attacks against the democratic rights of netziens and join my fellow bloggers in their protests.
Blogger Saji noticed that a number of blog posts including his were used without permission by kerals.com and he notified kerals and put a post regarding this to notify others. There were around 300 blog posts that were copied without permission.
Following this Anilshree put a post supporting Saji's findings to attract more attention to this major issue. Though none of AnilShree's posts were copied, he wanted to gather more support for this issue. Bloggers who found their content on kerals.com were outraged and as the first step, sent an email to Kerals.com.
When informed that there was no response to Saji for 4 days, a support ticket was sent asking them to take down the contents or it will be reported to hosting provider or Google Adsense.
To this a very rude abusive reply was shot back from their Director Mr. Shiv Kumar.
Later an array of mails and threats, phising attempt, and even a forging email were followed from Chris, Ajay, POP, Shiv Kumar – all employees or owners of Kerals.com. Anilshree was too warned and threatened by kerals.com of consequences and was forced to take down his post.
But most other bloggers stay put. Strangely, whoever complained was banned from accessing kerals.com site too, in order to conceal evidence of fraud.
Bloggers complained to theplanet.com (copyright@theplanet.com), the hosting provider for Kerals.com and to Google Ad sense which clearly states they follow the DCMA guidelines and will not allow adsense on copied contents.
Kerals.com started to realize things were getting serious and started to remove the content and informed a few bloggers about it.
However they wanted (or rather ordered) to take down the posts of bloggers when the posts were removed. This is not necessary as blog like any other medium is protected under freedom of speech. When they were informed of posts were removed, bloggers put posts updating the status of their individual case.
Even then, more bloggers received threats and in form of fake legal notices. Some emails even claim to have photographs (a clear case of cyber stalking) of bloggers and addresses. Have no idea what kerals.com is going to achieve with such kind of tricks which is going to land them up in more trouble.
