I think i noticed the BGMs of Rahman from the sharings of this group. and now i have spread it among many other friends and they appreciate it and notice it while watching the movie.... if we don't rip and share the BGMs ,one area of major hard work from Rahman will go unnoticed . -Jamshid --- On Tue, 10/28/08, K.

I've been uploading some Vocal Only Songs and also working on high quality complete BGM of Yuva and Vocal Only Songs from Jeans. I am now confused whether I should upload them or not. --- On Mon, 10/27/08, kaissiom <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> wrote: From: kaissiom <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> Subject: [arr] kaissiom - Pls share the complete Khwaja mere To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com Date: Monday, October 27, 2008, 11:26 PM Hi guys, I totally understand and share your excitement about this unplugged versions. I'm not that selfish to keep these musical gems of Rahman to myself, that is why I share. Although, you have to understand that my decision to not share something like "Khwaja-unplugged" in its entirety stems from multiple other reasons and issues beyond my control. Someone close to Rahman has expressed to me that Rahman doesn't really like us ripping bits from DVDs and sharing with everyone. There are legal, copyright and other issues involved there, along with the fact that his hard work easily becomes available to all these copycats that use his music in TV serials and even some movies. Plus, Rahman doesn't solely own the rights of his music, I believe the producer owns the partial rights, if not all rights. I guess what I'm trying to get to is that sometimes we love someone so much that we end up hurting them without intending it. Rahman opposes remixes, especially remixing of his songs(without this consent). Imagine, if something like Khwaja's vocals were out in the public domain, it could spur remixes. A DJ or someone who wants to remix tries hard to eliminate or isolate the voices in the song. Therefore, finding just the vocals of a song is like a dream come true for the remixer. If I was to shared the complete version of Khwaja, it would be available in the public domain for anyone to use. They can try infinite number of beats and templates on Khwaja. They don't need Rahman, they will have his original singing and would simply need to add beats. Now, all this may sound far fetched, but we have to recognize the possibility of this occuring. One of the BGMs I extracted had ended up on a Radio channel. After that I had decided to limit my BGMs and other work. I do not want to be an accomplice to copycats and certainly do not want to hurt Rahman. Imagine the dedication, passion and divinity Rahman has put in Khwaja. And also imagine the layers of music and hours or days of hard work gone into making the music and beats etc. of Khwaja. And then imagine how well it's come out and how well it's layered. The vocals of Rahman are supposed to be hidden in the layers, never to be extracted the way I have extracted them. As I have expressed before, my talent or whatever you want to call it is an accident. I wish I had never discovered this accident. But now I know how to do it and I love it, but imagine my dilemma, I can not share it. But I can not resist sharing a small part of it. That way I feel I'm doing justice to both Rahman and the fellow Rahmaniacs. Bottom line, we all love Rahman and do not want to hurt him. Sharing Khwaja - unplugged - complete version will be like hurting Rahman. I hope I have explained some of the reasons behind my decision. I hope you understand the reasons and see the logic behind those. And if you don't agree with me then, I certainly hope you are able to forgive me. Although my methods are different, there are other simpler ways of extracting vocals which are already being discussed on the group. Sooner or later someone is going to post these unplugged versions online. I personally do not want to be that person. Now, I am not saying everyone should stop sharing BGMs and other musical bits. One can never dictate what other people can do or not do. Therefore, all we can do is... do what we think is RIGHT because at the end of it we are all responsible for our own individual actions and not those of others. With that said, I'm really looking forward to Yuvvraaj and Slumdog Millionaire and Ghajini! Expecting amazing Background Score for each of these. Regards, Wasim. ________________________________ Why did the mussel pop open? See it on Yahoo! Answers Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy! Go to http://messenger.yahoo.com/invite/
