Guidelines for Content theft

Only publish work that you have genuinely written yourself. 

Copying content, in full or in part, from books, movies, TV shows, blogs, or any other published source, and publishing it as your own, is not allowed, even if you change some words.

Closely rewriting someone else's work scene by scene, or reusing their plot, characters, or story structure while changing surface details, is also treated as plagiarism, even in cases that may not meet the strict legal definition of copyright infringement.

Translating or adopting another author's work into a different language requires their prior written permission. Publishing a translation without it is a violation, whether or not you credit the original author.

Crediting the original author is not a substitute for permission. Re-sharing someone else's work with a credit line still needs their consent.

Every published work is automatically checked against Pratilipi's existing library for similarity. Matches can be reviewed and taken down even without a formal complaint from the original author. 

Action can range from moving the work to draft status, to permanently deleting it, to blocking the profile after repeated violations. Formal copyright complaints bring additional legal timelines and may lead to legal action against the author.
