esnips, uploading files and copyright
Last week in a feat of enthusiasm I recorded some 13 poems. Some I just read. Some I sang. (Sorry about that!) I thought that I will keep these for myself for the time being. Then I thought that I will share these with Ashu (my sister), Chaitanya (My brother in law) and parents. Well what is better than eSnips for that. So first I empthrised all the files. (Well if any of you say that there is no such verb in English then kindly accept this as a gift from me to English language. em.p.thr.ise [em-p-thra-ayz] means creating a mp3 file. If you accept 'googling' then why not this - just because I am Indian?) Well then I uploaded all 13...well I 'tried' to upload all 13 files. eSnips allowed me to upload only 11. Uploader of eSnips claimed to suspect copyright violation in the last two files. Well, I said fine at least 11 are uploaded. Then with the same enthusiasm I invited my sister, my brother-in-law and my parents to listen to the the poems. Two days passed and no compliments ot comments. I checked it with my sister and she said that she cant open the files! Surprised, I tried it myself. The files were still there but when one tried to play those, eSnips said that those files are no more there! Perfect - one can not download the files, one can not listen to the files. Well, I could have really understood if the files were really copyright violation. But these are poems read using my own voice and recorded on my own computer. Well I wrote to supprt team of eSnips. 4 days have gone I am still waiting for the response. Till then - me, my recorded poems and copyrights - all are with me!
