Hi Gops, So the groups has JUST achieved a breakthrough. So A.R.Rahman will be credited each time the video is played or the song from this album is mentioned. Great. ARR can be proud of the group :)
However, I still won't buy the argument that Universal Music had originally intended to credit ARR. I say this because they never sought ARR's permission to begin with and that's why he and his legal advisors were informed only by this group. ARR reserved the right to say NO. However, they have gone ahead, recorded the song, made the video, played it many times and NOW at the end they are saying they would give credit to ARR. What would they do if ARR says NO THANK YOU i cant permit you to use my tune which I am sure ARR would never do. Just wondering. Thanks Gops anyways for breaking the good news. Since I wrote the second email in resopnse, saying it was International piracy since the song was also included in ALW's Bombay Dreams cd, I hope my email was one of those forwarded to A.R.Rahman. Just tell him edwardian 10 means Jawad Babar :P Thanks, Jawad.

Vijay forwarded your emails to ARR and ARR's legal advisors and Andrew Lloyd Webber's THe Really Useful Group took it up with Universal Music who are releasing the Kelly Poon album. Universal's contention is that they will include credits to ARR in the album which only releases on Sep 28. They claim that the video and song on air in Singapore is only a promotional release. While we don't know if they cleaned up their act after being questioned or had the right intentions to begin with, all's well that ends well. > > Thanks once again and please remain on the lookout for such incidents in future.
