PTC owns the complete right of Darbar Sahib

[S1ngh]

From gurmuatuk's FB status:

Some of you may have tuned into the live broadcast I did on SikhNet's facebook page yesterday of Gurugaddi Nagar kirtan and Gurdwara here in Espanola,New Mexico. Shortly after Facebook notified me that the video was taken down because of a "copyright claim" by PTC Punjabi PTC News. I contacted PTC television about releasing their claim and this was the response (see image). Who are these guys and who do they think they are? First, They need to pay a little more attention since my video had nothing to do with Harmandir sahib, and secondly can't believe how commercial the SGPC has let the golden temple become. When I was there in march I had "Sevadhars" Harass me for taking a time lapse video/photo on a small iPhone stand. Even just resting my phone on my backpack was taboo. No doubt they are "protecting" the audio and visuals of harmandir sahib for commercial interests with PTC and others who have no right to claim anything for what is first and foremost for the Sangat and NOT a business transaction. To quote Rahul:  "Please desist from doing that" ☠️

I can send you a link to a Sewadaar that knew / had this feeling about PTC too. He live streams PTC Gurbani with his own Logos over the top of PTCs, as he also feels PTC are trying to "own" the Gurbani broadcasted from Golden Temple.

Great Sewa from this guy. He also provides Free local numbers for Sangat to call - these will have the live Gurbani streamed on the other end of the call. For example, truck drivers on the road may not have 3G connections, so all they have to do is call that Free number and they will be able to hear The Gurbani from Golden Temple, they can then even play it on loud speaker or Bluetooth through the vehicle etc.

AND to rub salt on woulds -

PTC pays not even a penny but instead our SGPC pays them 20 crore per year (2005's figure with zee apha tv) for using their service. Same deal was with Zee TV before badal jr. wanted his channel to get those rights. 

There should be no copyright for streaming/recording/relaying gurbani from harmander sahib. It is simple mind blowing that it is us paying them, which is so so very wrong on so many economical levels.

transparent stealing from Golak ... how can you copyright something that has never been copyrighted and the kirtaniyas are not owned by SGPC or Badal Tv ?
