I think I've pissed myself

Copy/prosecute

India's observed that the EU is squeezing mucho moolah out of Google for being shits about something, and they want a piece of the action. Unlike the EU, however, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) would rather not put too much effort into it, especially if it's been done better before, and decided to [cough] share best practice. (wink)

Reuters reported that according to the filing made to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), Google said that the CCI's investigations unit deployed "evidence from Europe that was not examined in India". It has also said that there were "more than 50 instances of copy-pasting" from the European Commission's ruling.

Clearly, like a lot of university students, the CCI was unaware that their submission would be checked for plagiarism. Oh dear, so that'll be a FAIL then!


A corporate working life has led me to use sharing best practice as a euphemism for copying what's worked for others elsewhere. After all, why reinvent the wheel when you can reverse-engineer it? Trebles all 'round! [Hic]
