Dear Amith I have following queries pertaining to a group of artists performing songs on stage.
1. If the songs are not performed by the original musicians / artists and singers, then why a IPA permission is required ? The stiff fees required in doing a stage show really strangle new talent coming up and learning like Eklavya by learning the songs / works of an artist during performing. 2. In any case, songs performed on stage try to go close to the original but never DITTO due to limitation of acoustics, musicians, instrumentation etc, then how come it comes under the copyright act ? 3. If one purchases ORIGINAL CD and makes remixes out of it and then shares these remixed songs, is it violation of original song's rights ?
