Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from Thy Presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning,
And I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea;
Even there shall Thy hand lead me,
And Thy right hand shall hold me.
-Psalms 139: 7-10

Indeed some Bibles are now copyrighted, as is ISKCON's Gita. Some of
the material I have quoted in this forum has been from Srila
Prabhupaada, though I did not say so. On one ocassion Pai mocked one of
those quotes, because he did not recognize it and thought it was by
another Swami.
Perhaps that is why he is now so keen on my supplying attribution. To
resolve this question, I suggest that Pai kindly report all such
breaches to the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust. Since the copyright is not
his, but theirs, it might be more appropriate to let them handle this.
Should any officer of the Book Trust then advise me that quoting BRIEF
sections requires any such attribution, I would of course comply.
Should they make no such request, Pai still however has the right to
make still more requests, or even to follow behind me pasting
attributions as he wishes. His concerns are noted.
