30+ year software engineer here. Shiva DID invent EMAIL. Yes, there were other similar systems at the time (that could only operate on intranets), but Shiva was one of the first (there were many) to actually send an "email" to a remote network.

And he did copyright the phrase "EMAIL". Therefore, he invented EMAIL.

Complete bullshit.

His system ONLY worked on the one university. Never across networks.

Email was being sent across networks YEARS before Shiva came along.

He copyrighted his program named "EMAIL" - not the word.

What the fuck happened to this site?

There used to be critical thinkers interested in the truth here. Now, we have assclowns parroting bullshit.
