Precisely the point I have been trying to make. I dont need to do much of a research to say that subtle piracy due to ignorance and misinterpretation of "the fair use " clause is a huge reason for lack of sales of music from India overseas. While Indians overseas buy latest english pop albums, they dont hesitate to copy Indian music(be it film or otherwise) into their PCs and iPods, copying across multiple machines, sharing files among friends etc., Not just IR, every Indian musician must incite his/her fans to act against piracy of this sort even if it means to ruffle a few feathers.Quote:
But then, I realized that there is in general very little awareness on Copyright/piracy etc within our folks. And given the ease with which media can be reproduced, it will be a while before laws can be designed to prevent this. Until then, creators/artists like IR have to live with that sense of helplessness.
