The companies holding the rights would have wanted money that T series wasn't ready to shell off. Legally, T series is not wrong because I have heard that supreme court has put a 2 years limit while a cover version can't be released without the permission of the original rights holder. So, if they have put more than 2 years old songs as cover, they are within legal limits. Though it means that even after selling so many recent albums of ARR, T series have not understood the essence of ARR's music. A cover version of ARR is just san of the ARR mystique, people are not going to like it and it is not likely to sell much. -- Rawat
