So IR is clean legally and even if TM sued IR, he may win it in court. The only areas he can be contested legally are those that he has acquired copyrights of US and UK territories without TM's knowledge. I dont understand what clause in the agreement permits this and why TM is silent. :?
Just like movie producers borrows money and makes it, TM produced this album. If the movie fails or loses none of the technicians including actors/ directors worry about it - they get their money anyway.- As pointed out by app_engine-True indeed.
Only the ethical and some logical questions remains to be answered. IR has invested his talents and reaping profits now. TM has to first breakeven i.e., they have to get back the amount invested and repay their loans. Only after this they will be able to gain some profits which could be invested in further projects like this.How will they break even when the copyrights are violated or false accounts are given to them :?
TM should not have allowed IR to make decisions on the marketing. As producers they had every right to defend their interests and decided upon marketing aspect. But it was IR who finalised the deal with Wellgate. Now Tm is running at a loss because WG are giving false accounts. http://in.news.yahoo.com/050926/54/60bgt.html
They are saying that they sold only 45,000 CD's and 25,000 cassettes :( While the main dealer from chennai claims to have got 30,000 CD's on the first day of release itself and sold out. Again on the third day they ordered for 25,000 CD's more and sold them out too. The CD cover printing press claims to have printed around 2,00,000 CD covers on order from WG. These informations are not hearsay but from authentic sources. So if it is WG playing foul with TM- why then IR still having a good rapport with them. After Fr. Announced about this loss and WG's claim publicly, IR goes for the CD release function of TTLS produced by WG :!: Morally shouldnt Raja have asked WG to settle accounts with TM. Is there a private agreement between WG and IR :?:
I dont care whether IR gives money to kollur kovil or tsunami victims [ oh really i do care :) ].
But Fr. and TISK were his fans. When non of the corporates were ready to finance IR to realise his dream of scoring music for Thiruvasagam, they came in saying ' you need not worry we will make your dream come true'. They agreed to all that IR asked for [ be it 50% profit share or signing with WG] not because they wanted to make business, reap profits and become rich but as an ardent fan of IR. Now letting them sink and happily going around is not right for anyone ethically.
Even Rajni was better in this aspect when he gave back the money invested by distributors when 'BABA' bombed. Rajni need not have done that legally but it was basic humanity - not to allow anyone suffer who had faith in you.
'What kind of spirituality is Raja practising after he has sold out his spirit'
For the other people who are taking this seriously deep down into you. Please try to distinguish between things logically. Though iam vehemently critising IR here and in my friends circle about this. I enjoyed every single moment of the Jaya TV"s programme. It was the same goosepimples, same awe, same admiration for the man who has made my life possible with his music.
I saw AOKK yesterday and blowed my lungs out whistling when his name appeared on the screen. The movie is another treat from IR with astounding BGM right from the first frame. Surprisingly a new 'amma' song [ for which he is the only authority] is there in the movie. tears were rolling down listening to the song. the whole movie is as good as moondram pirai and you people need to see it ASAP. BM-IR combination have done it again :thumbsup:
