Copying is no crime. But passing it off as ones original creation without crediting the original is sacrilege and it speaks volumes about a charecter who is unwittingly idolized by hapless fans.
ReplyDeleteThats why we say the old songs had soul.. bcz now its not possible to fool the public by copying..
