Love dancing on remixes??? I do. Old melodies tuned for the new generation. Same lyrics used by our parents to romance and now we are tapping on them. These numbers did its magic 50 years back and now again by just changing the getup these songs are loved by us too.
Its just re-using the music.
Whatever these "remixers" are doing is open to all and some are considerate enough to even give the credit to the original writer and singers.
I don’t understand why these big-film-industry people (Page 3 junta) crib about “stealing the music”.
Talking about violating a copyright idea, I say, its stealing an idea from a novel and making a movie about it. “plagiarization” as we call it. I know of a novel that was deftly casted to a hindi movie which was a hit. The author is not very renowned and this was amongst her first works. A stolen piece of art which is copied to a movie and the director was applauded for his “refreshingly original” work.
The author did file a case but there are no laws in IPC (Indian Penal court) that can sue anyone whose movie is “inspired” by a novel.
The director got away with all the fame and glory and the money.
The people started consoling the author that atleast her work is molded in a famous movie and she should feel happy (Well, the grapes turned out to be sour). But, just think of it from some other angle, I am sure 90% of the people reading this are from a typical IT industry. You invent an idea, work on it for years (which is a big deal in IT where we change jobs on every new year eve) and when finally it works, your boss or some other “hero” takes away the credit. Can you feel the pain ?
Don’t you think these big directors should themselves first stop stealing before blaming the small dance groups who are making the remix dance numbers ?
But ya, who in this world is going to care about what such authors feels, we saw the movie, enjoyed it and recommented it to our friends…. Paisa wasool.
