SATIN KNIGHT ON CRIME AGAINST PLAGIARISM

Dear Ladies, dear Gentlemen,

The white knight is dead - long live the satin knight !

If you look at the attached documents (see pdf.files annexed in the article "White Knight exposes Lino&Co for breach of copyright" below) you will find evidence of the plagiarism of Mr. Lino Paras. Plagiarism is, in fact, not a peccadillo at all, but an element of a crime. As moral rights and economic interests of original creators are violated, such facts cannot be simply missed out. Copyrights of authors and publishing houses are protected under national law and international conventions, respectively, such as the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. This convention was signed by the Republic of the Philippines, as well, to contribute to the harmonization of different national copyright laws. Known as Republic Act No. 8293, Philippine copyright law defines the so-called Intellectual Property Code, including penalties for copyright violations. If you thoroughly look through the attached texts, “Born to be a Hero” cannot qualify fair use (cf. Sec. 185 of said Code).

We ought to get rid of Mr. Paras once and for all times not only as knight of rizal but as well for many misdeads in Belgium, some of them "bigger" then plagiarism. But - and this is a big problem, in many cases we have heard of but lack evidence. If not for his own or his followers stupidity and greed for glory we would not have known about his plagiarism.

I know and I have been told, that all of you are important and well accepted members of the Philippine-Belgium society and most probably know and have evidence of one or the other "problem" or even illegal doings by Mr. Paras. We need this urgently in order to bake that big cake of evil to swallow by Mr. Paras.

If you have any kind of evidence, which can not be followed up to you personally (as I do not want you to get into any kind of problems through godfather Paras&Co) and which might help us to put the rope around his neck literally, I would be very grateful for your help. If you would tell me I could use your name even the better, but usually I will forget any names who served me with information.
