While I don’t agree with plagiarism in Hindi music ( it happens too often), you find it even in Western pop music. One example is that of the instrumental theme towards the end of the movie ‘Saturday Night Fever’ when Travolta dances on the floor. It is actually a Beethoven composition. I will post more when I have some time.

The Page is automatically right aligning the lines and all empty lines are removed – it discourages me to read not even others buy my own comments.

Dear thats why its “not so simple” but let me do my part and not pay them.

I used to love this song “Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai” from Gangster awesome lyrics and music, but when I came to know that its a complete rip-off, “B@$ C#%” it made me bitter.

It reinforces my belief that in Bollywood if its hit 99.99% its a rip-off

Mortals like me cant help liking a copy of a master piece in the absence of the master piece. Copyright laws may require amendment but then what and how and who’s gonna do that ? Even then the legal framework of copyright itself can be abused by big shots.

Nothing works unless the society, that includes you and the corrupt-me, have moral-fiber

“He gives hits after hits because we listen to what he offers. When we listen,it means business”

There’s no business without earning, not so simple but still don’t pay.
If you feel guilty buy Indian Ocean

Google Transliteration doesnt work on your page

Plagiarism aka “Inspiration” has serious repercussions.

It discourages innovation and hard work (If you consider Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V as work/innovation then Khuda Hi Maalik Hai )

Its unethical to pocket someone else’s years of labor and hard work just because there are no laws preventing you from doing that. You need to pay in terms of recognition as well as mullah. Adding an extra word or a spelling-mistake to a poem doesn’t make anyone a creator.

This is the reason I never pay for Indian Music/Movies if they appear to be “Inspired”. Chor Ko Chori Ke Paise Kyoon Doon

Sone Pe Suhaga Toh Yeh Hai – The “Inspired” Musicians and other artists are the judge/host for the burgeoning talent shows,proclaiming to inspire young artists ha ha ha

As far as constitution and accounting standards are concerned,it wud have been reinventing the wheel but music is different.
you cant just rip off someone else’s song and give it ur name thats ethically wrong.
and pritam and anu have never admitted their thefts but now are being forced to do.

Hi
Nice Write up…
but i was havin a deja vu while reading it..
or may be i have read it smwhr else too..
or may be u hav picked it up from there!!
Anyways I’ll come to the point..
I mean these ppl hav just modified the song without reinventing the wheel.. & made it a huge success..
they hav just made it reach to a larger audience..
so there is nothin wrong in it & especially if they are admitting it that they r doin it.
I mean this thing has been present in so many things.. take our constitution, accounting standards, various industry policies.. so why make a issue of music now??

Cheers
Sumit
