Pakistan to compensate JeM terrorist Masood Azhar with Rs 14 crore following Indian strikes?

Pakistan to compensate JeM terrorist Masood Azhar with Rs 14 crore following Indian strikes?

Published by Webster

In May 2019, the United Nations designated Azhar a “global terrorist” after China lifted its hold on a proposal to blacklist the JeM chief, a decade after New Delhi approached the world body for the first time on the issue. Islamabad: In what comes as a significant development from Pakistan, reports suggest that Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif is likely to offer Rs 14 crore compensation to UN-designated terrorist and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar. Azhar lost 14 members of his family, and the Pakistani state has sanctioned Rs 1 crore for each individual killed in the Indian airstrikes, The Tribune India reports. The compensation will be paid to the legal heirs, implying that if Azhar determines himself as the legal heir, he may end up with the whopping amount.  Along with offering compensation, reports suggest that the Pakistani government may also rebuild homes that were decimated in the Indian strikes.  The latest Pakistani stand has drawn criticism, with Indian defence officials saying that Islamabad’s gestures raise questions over Pakistan’s commitment to counterterrorism.  Masood Azahar acknowledges …

(Photo Credit: X) Reportedly, the actor has also been requested to reduce his pay for the next collaboration. Rajinikanth’s latest release Vettaiyan has failed to match its box office expectations.

Bungie will compensate an artist after its Destiny 2 Nerf blaster ripped off their work

Published by Webster

When Bungie and Hasbro decided to create a real-life, dart-blasting Nerf version of one of the most famous Destiny 2 guns, someone got lazy — stealing a fan artist’s nine-year-old work instead of creating the Ace of Spades from scratch. To Bungie’s credit, the game company has just announced it will “make sure” to compensate and credit Tofu Rabbit “for their incredible artwork,” after a rapid investigation. As you can see in Tofu’s examples below, this is an incredibly clear-cut case of copying, despite the changes that Bungie or Hasbro’s artists made to the blaster. While one would assume Bungie owns the original underlying blaster design, Tofu was able to show that details from her fanart, down to the brush strokes, were copied. Bungie didn’t offer an explanation to The Verge; Hasbro didn’t immediately reply. But yesterday, Tofu told The Verge that Bungie had already been “polite and encouraging” in private messages, saying she was hopeful the situation could be resolved soon, since Bungie has dealt with similar issues in the past. Indeed, this isn’t …

OTT Communication Services Should Be Licensed, Compensate Telcos for Data Traffic, COAI Says

Published by Webster

Telecom operators’ body COAI on Tuesday made a strong pitch for OTT (over-the-top) communication services to directly compensate telcos for data traffic they are driving onto the networks, as it advocated a licensing and light-touch regulation framework for such services. Cellular Operators’ Association of India (COAI) Director General SP Kochhar said the association, as part of the draft telecom bill, has given its suggestions on how OTT communication services should be defined to ensure there is no ambiguity. Other aspects like exact financial model for OTT communication services to compensate telecom service providers will be made to the government going forward as and when the nuances of framework for light-touch regulation is discussed, Kochhar told reporters at a briefing. OTT communication services include the likes of WhatsApp, Signal, Google Meet, Telegram and other similar apps. In future, the same principle of revenue share basis data consumption can be applied to other OTTs (all categories) as well, he added. For now, COAI’s suggestions are confined to the realm of OTT communication apps, not the entire ecosystem, …
