Inspirational Music
Just when I was hailing several Bollywood music directors for some of their outstanding compositions, I came across this site :

To my surprise and dismay, I found that some of my favourite songs right from mehbooba from R.D. Burman to Kya mujhe pyar hai from Pritam are no more than blatant and brazen acts of plagiarism.
The Indian audience perhaps is too naive to make out such deceits. These music directors have been awarded trophies for several such copied compositions. It's good for them as long as the music is a hit and earns them big money. But how good is plagiarism for their creativity as an artist ? Agreed that several of these tunes would have been unheard of here had these people not taken the pains of copying it and selling it away. But the least they can do is to attribute the works (which they say have inspired them ) to their true composers. Or else they should be rightly sued.

I agree, piracy is serious threat ! Its not just stealing the words and lyrics but killing the very soul with which bigger than life artists like RD Burman has composed !
Why just songs. Plagiarism is rampant even in the chip design industry. Everyone does it and everyone writes his/her version of the patent to circumvent being sued.
In the end, no matter where you go, it leaves behind a bad taste in the mouth.
