![]() ![]() And this brings me to a key policy issue for discussion: should we encourage such copying, provided adequate credit has been provided to the original composer? For, after all, some of these borrowings can involve a fair bit of creative adaptation and may invoke a completely different cultural setting and imagery than the original. ![]() I’m getting the sense that several of them are upset, not so much at the copying, but at the fact that the source was hidden and not attributed. Since then, Deepak Dev, a Malayalam music composer responsible for the unacknowledged borrowing, has been at the receiving end of several diatribes from fans that felt immensely let down. Unfortunately, the haunting “Aaro Nee Aaro” melody accompanying a rather intimate visual between the lead stars was copied without attribution from a Canadian Celtic singer. The reason I bring up this catchy maxim is to reflect on Prashant’s post outlining a partial restraining order against Urumi, a malayalam movie produced and directed by the legendary Santosh Sivan.
