thiruvasakam in symphony

An hypothetical press release from IR -
"There are reports in the press, that I have personally acquired the rights of TIS and am trying to profit from it. This is really not true. The copyrights and distribution rights continue to be owned by Tamil Mayyam and the IR non-profit foundation. Fr. Jegath, Vincent and TIS-USA have done a great service in bringing this music out for the benefit of our youngsters. I really appreciate their work for this project. They will continue to have my support in all ways. I urge the public not to pirate either TIS or any album. These projects are costly to execute and without the support of the public such projects cannot happen again in the future"

I have a doubt whether the communication channels between TM/TIS-USA and IR are in good condition. It is upto a third-party like Dr.Vijay from the yahoo groups to step in and make this sort of a press release happen.

Kiru, this would be nice!! But my concerns are about Tamil maiyam and TIS-USA team loan commitments(if any?????????)! Clearing the controversy is important for Raaja's image, for us (in the very first post when this trouble started Dr.shankar's response to it is very troubling for some of us!) I hope it is just a misunderstanding between IR,TM and TIS-USA. If we get the attention of Shri.Ilayaraaja in this matter we can atleast hope to resolve the loan issues(if any???) too with HIS help! How can we help other than what we are doing now? anyway...
As I told Raaja's fans are committed to Shri.ilayaraja,Tamil maiyam,TIS-USA team. we worked hard to bring TIS album.
There is no problem in this world without solution!
There is no PERFECT solution for any problem. Only we can try!!

Or if someone has KR's or YSR's e-mail ID (definitely they should have if not IR himself), send the link of this thread to them...if the ID is published here, there could be a bunch of mails too...

With this kind of adulation in Madurai (population > 1 mn) and elsewhere in south TN, it shouldn't have been difficult to sell TiS (cassettes if not CDs) 100's of 1000's in TN itself...

Just watch, Jaya TV may have the CD/DVD rights for this program and they may sell that to some production /disti company for millions...apart from getting a bumper revenue thru ad sponsors for the telecasts...

paNam paNNuvadhu silarukku kai vandha kalai...silarukku kittAdha kani...

app engine, now can you agree with me Why it is important to have shri.Ilayaraaja's attention, his statements in this regard? I am asking you genuinely, if you think it is stupid idea, then lets go back to what we know the best-try to sell cds as much as we can! Productive aa resolve pannalam if there is a misunderstanding. It is sad for Raaja lovers like me. I am looking forward to HIS future works, I thought this TIS album is just a beginning,Hope this controversy will not destruct my aasai!! Raaja we love your music so much! We want you to Conquer the world with your music! Love, Vinu.

Ofcourse I agree with you baroque that the producers (TM/TIS-USA) should get IR's attention, i.e. if they already do not have that...and if possible, get his assistance in marketing / promotion to break-even & profit...not to ask him for money but ask for, say, a promotional appearance or concert in Madurai for 1 hour to play select TbI portions in thamukkam maidhAnam and the ticket will include a cassette...something like that...or a series of concerts in main TN cities...It's so common abroad for performers to promote their products / help producers and other causes...

(though I still don't agree with you on one count, i.e. I don't believe in `statements' generally...actions speak louder than words)

Yes, true!! I agree with you. I also want His attention for something real help, thats loans if any for the producers!
Regarding loan commitments(if any????) I strongly believe TM or TIS-usa team(if they need?) we can approach Shri.Ilayaraaja's help! He will be happy help.

Regarding tamilcinema news, authentication yenna yerukku ippo? that too that's between Raaja and tamilcinema, as much as i care about Raaja's image, if he is fine ignoring, I am too!!
Lets pay attention to important things!

Hindu's story was a bit of a joke, but can u xplain wat u meant by ur last line??? :D

Maddy, I simply meant you got to be smart to make money...(proof - someone like Jaya TV is making a lot of money using the popularity of the same person who is blamed for the financial woes of TM & TIS-USA...)
