Re: [arr] Re: Blue Telugu
Government is not going to do anything to curb piracy on its own. Government officials and their families themselves must be hearing pirated music and seeing pirated movies. Should we initiate something to drum up support for curbing piracy? Should we initiate something on places like onlinepetition.com giving worrisome these details like you mentioned, and seek people to sign on it and when a respectable number of people sign it, then we can get it published on newspapers to prompt government to do something about it. There are lakhs of members totalling from here, from orkut arr groups, from facebook, and other places, I think many of them will promptly willingly sign on such a petition. I think even a single PIL (public interest litigation) in Indian Supreme Court might make the Judiciary considering issuing directives to appropriate authority to initiate action on this front. Side by side, may be, we can start a blog in which we enlist websites that are openly giving music/ movies files for download or giving links for free download. If any authorized agency does feel moved to do anything on this count, then such a list will come handy for them to start working, by making such sites delete their pirated content. I thing doing at least soemething is need of the moment instead of just lamenting here on the prevalent state of affairs. Mentioned above are some minimal things that we can do within our limited time and putting minimum money for this cause. Anyone willing to participate in this effort may please come forward. A core group needs to be formed first to coordinate on such efforts. I wonder if Vijay would like to volunteer for playing a key role in this effort. -- Rawat On 12/30/2009 11:27 AM India Time, _Gopal Srinivasan_ wrote: You got one part of the answer right, not the other part.

RE: [arr] Re: Blue Telugu
I have few thoughts here. Indian's are by far very poor CD buyers. And only few agents were resposible for the CD sales as such in India and Rahman played a huge role in that. Now the market is very disoriented. None of them are able to tackle piracy and the only way is the surrender to the trend and release MP3s. This is actually like going back to stone age. If you look at the data (depending on the source), you might note that globally CD sales have fallen by as much as 15% (adjustments to recession included). India for the size that we are and that too with the world's largest film factory, with most number of songs, sells lesser CDs than denmark,sweden,norway. Basically countries smaller than most indian states. This is because, we like music and want it fast and we won't mind downloading from anywhere. Lets check it ourselves. Those who claim they have the entire collection of rahman's works, do we have all original ACDs or cassesetes as applicable? secondly, The whole listening fashion is changed to iPODs. So even if we buy a disc, we would most probably rip it and put them into an iPOD or make it part of a compilation MP3 disc. Thirdly, people are not so concious of 'fidilety'. Many actually don;t care about it, as long as the tracks sound loud! ( refer loudness war). And what they need, they get it from Mp3s. Lastly, a delay of indian release of some big ticket films is suicidal. Everyone had watched slumdog and everyone had the tracks when T-series decided to release. Same for couples retreat. Theres a huge opportunity loss here. If people as a market were concious of taste, then CD sales won't drop and Worldspace radio wont go bankrupt to shut shop. So...start buying CDs. Not only Rahman's. All the music you like.

[arr] Re: Blue Telugu
If I am not wrong, ARR also has copyrights to songs that he composes. Cant they be released on KM Musiq label? Why cant there be limited number of copies released (by either T-Series or KM Musiq or other companies)? Numbers of you gave for Slumdog are indeed quite shocking. It is also true that songs are easily available to download for free on several forums (blogs, torrents etc), also heard something like 15 soundtracks are getting released on 1 mp3 CD for 10-15 Rs in India - this sort of piracy is truly killing music CD sales.. and from my prospective, I havnt seen anything solid from music companies to stop this piracy.. actually I kinda noticed that situation has become worse as this web world has progressed in recent times. So may be what can be done is not to produce original copies blindly, prices for original CDs can also be decreased (to encourage people to buy original .. though I personally dont complain about the price) and for outdated / flop / old movies - release limited number of copies. RPG / Saregama has set a good example for initiative. From time to time they have been coming out with old Hindi soundtracks, they do know that the sales wont be great - hence they make limited number of copies so that they dont get any lose.
