Q: Facebook copyright issue due to claims of infringement to content

On demands of members of a facebook group to publish a joke's book, i as an admin, made all the efforts to get it published. The contents of the book was mainly derived from the contributors of the group. Soon after it was published, two particular members cum moderators raised about the copyright issue saying that the editor stole contents from the original writer Some points are: > the contents of the book are from the facebook group page. a few number of jokes were created on own and not posted in group. >the group does not have any valid bank account and not a registered society. > the editing and proof reading part was solely done by the editor. > thanksgiving note was mentioned in the prefect > the statement "the book is a collection of unique jokes contributed by the members" is clearly mentioned Sir, i would like to know whether giving copyright to my husband as an editor of the book is legal or not? Please clarify

You may have made efforts, but did you profit out if the sale of the same. The jokes contributed by the said members can be original or copied from somewhere else. Need to know few facts before responding.

The marriage is void ab initio. The girl was underage when she was forcefully married by her father. Now, at present, I need to know few more facts before I can advise you any future. Ask her to call 1091, national helpline number or contact local police station.
