So nice of you not to blame ARR when he can be blamed. :-) When you are blaming everybody else, I think ARR should also share his responsibility "for his inaction" to do something about it. ARR has a repute now. No one can make ARR sign on dotted lines. ARR can put conditions that would popularize his music and would present the music to his fans in a better way, and producers/ directors/ rights companies will accept those terms. But he is not doing it as far as I know. -- this decision to have different versions of songs, not in different languages as that would be a genuine point, but the same song in same language in many voices, some songs in film not in CD, some songs in CD and not in film, so on -- all this actually fuels the piracy because user/ listeneres/ buyers are unsatisfied. they would say - what the hell, there are two more songs in the film that is not in CD so why bother buying incomplete CD. Genuine music buyers get worst affected as they pay full charges for the CD and still not get full music of the film. If Ud Ja rey is released in later versions of CD or DVDs, many of hard core fans would buy it again, but isn't that audio-video rights holder company cheating the music/ video buyers by making them cough up huge money many times in the name of one more songs. like gops had said once that he would (and had been) buy all collections of ARR even if they have few or even all repeat songs. I wonder if gops has made a list, and can share with us, of how many times he has bought same individual songs in different collections? -- Rawat
