Mohan Raman
is the popular actor, who is noted for his Tele serials and films. He has criticized “
Ilayaraja
” on his social media pages for sending a legal notice to “
S P Balasubrahmanyam
.” Mohan Raman says, “Dear Raja Sir, Copyright is copyright… No doubts. What is yours, if used, must be paid for… agreed. What belongs to many… how can you send a notice? What if the estate of Kannadasan and Vairamuthu or any other lyricist say – it’s Ok. In any case who authorized you to collect the royalty on behalf of the co-owners… you do not own it fully. I wonder if you are just angry that your songs are being sung? Your advocate said “people are charging in lakhs and notice has been sent to them only and not to those small troupes performing in temples and weddings. So, it is not the principle but the quantum of money… I am truly disappointed sir. Thought you were above all this filthy lucre. That is what a true Gnaani is if you had said my work is my work and all are liable, yes.” His post continued like this. This issue is seen from a single side, say the film experts.
