After YouTube postings, work by the Bollywood film music hit-maker Pritam has been exposed as copied and taken from other artists and composers around the world.

Pritam has been responsible for producing many hit songs for Bollywood films (India's film industry). Every Bollywood movie has songs in it and songs can sometimes make or break a movie to with audiences. Major revenues are earned by music directors like Pritam from rights and royalties for their music.

This revelation has started vibes in Bollywood to get ready for international artists and their legal representatives to be soon knocking on the doors of the likes of Pritam, who think they can just take musical creations made by other people and declare them as their own.

Amazingly, Pritam has over 45 songs listed as being copied by him in one way or other. Pritam has been given awards and is highly recognised as a much sought after composer in India and Bollywood. He has taken songs and compositions from artists in Korea, France and the Middle East and re-recorded them with new Hindi lyrics for the films.

Here is the full article on this incredible infringement of copyright. It includes video and a soundbite of the comparisons as proof.
