Iconoclasm

I would like to share this link with all of you today. Please take some time to explore this website, and see how as a nation we have perfected plagiarism. We have bestowed on these plagiarists awards, honors, respect, and pot loads of money.

Let me know your reactions as many dearly loved icons from your memories come crashing down.

this is very well known........pritam has been quite famous for being inspired and so are old hands mentioned in the site........good find

Butterfly said...

I had simply no idea that Pritam has this habit! I like his compositions, but now I discover that they never were his own!
Well, Thanks for sharing this with us...

R said...

What's new, anyway? What boils me up is the way they seem very proud of 'their' success and compositions. Yeah right.

Great stuff to post though. I am praying to read a longer post next time. (slaps himself immediately)

Saw this website a few months ago. Was just so irritated after seeing ALL my favourite songs being copy of one or the other, even songs like "Ajeeb Daastan hai yeh". There's no credibility left. :|

Ami Sherlock Holmes-er "A Study in Scarlet"-e Utah kotha porechhilam. Okhane ki khali Red Indians achhe?

@ Mk
Congrats.
Yes, the most saddening was the extent of RD's plagiarism I think.

@ D
Pritam especially...grr.

@ Butterfly
How does he go about accepting kudos for work that is not his, I wonder.

@ RT
Longer post next time? I can definitely work on it...mentally. :) Na, will try and put more effort for sure.

@ Vir
You bet.

@ Swetank
I know! Ajeeb dastan broke my heart as well.

@ Butterfly
Por por duto conference chhilo. Ekta Utah te ar arekta Washington e. Dutoi bhalo holo. Ei duto jayega tei shob rokomer lok thake. Ar btw "Red Indian" acceptable terminology noy. Otar jayegay "Native America" bola tai theek.
