Suggested Plan of Action:
1. BB creates a page called Asalum Nagalum
2. We form a fairly objective and more important a knowledgeable group of experts to which a case of copuy is prsented with evidence. Sridhar Seetharaman, Srikanth, Rjay, Sashi,...and I can be part of this 'vimarisana kuzhu'. The song will be determined a copy if 3 members of the group conclude so.
3. The tekkies (Vijay, BB, MS, Srikanth,....) get together and post excerts from the original and the duplicate once a copy is established. I am saying excerpts because (especially for western originals) we do not want to deal with copyright issues. I think loading relevant parts of a song for discussion within the purpose of the page will not create a legal issue.
4. We can invite the attention of the original and duplicate recording company to visit the site or the relevant segment. That way we have taken a step towards informing the right people and yet, do not come across as a group which wants a downfall of somebody.
Ground Rules (to consider):
1. No MD is above the law
2. For starters we will present/discuss only cases where the duplicate is TFM and the original is non-Indian. Presenting copies of TFM <-->HFM is fun, but useless in terms of any consequence. Presenting non-Indian --> HFM is outside the scope of this forum, but maybe considered for the Forum Hub.

Deva is making money from other's music - true. the only way out is to stop listening to his songs. Or even buy his CDs/cassettes.

Deva is No:1 when it comes to copying. But
what about others like SAR and the whiz kid
ARR ?
Whiz Kid's Chayya Chayya is a blatant lift
from some sufi song and the ironic part is
whiz kid could manage to get Andrew LIoyd
Webber impressed with that song to the extent
that they are working together now !
My point is when we are so much upset with
Deva about copying, we should not spare
the ones like ARR who are also doing the same
thing but in a more sophisticated way. Worse
still ARR gets furious when he is questioned
about copying.
Iam sure some people will pounce on me for
dragging ARR's name into copying but I believe
that ARR has also profited immensely by copying.
For MSV fans, ARR has copied 2,3 MSV tunes
already !

Talking about Deva, the moron D.S.Ramanujam
once wrote an article about Deva in Hindu and in that he described the composing session of Deva
and when Deva sings a tune, the director was
impressed. The moron DSR calles it melodious.
Shakalaka Baby composed by the whiz kid sounds
like a copy (sorry inspiration) to me.

Deva has copied "chappa chappa" from that great Gulzar film in vallarasu. Vetri Kodi Kattu sees him copying from old films. Is he scoring for kanda kadamba kadhirvela. Then he has interposed the title song with "jaya krishna mukunda" with Daler Mehndi's tunak tunak tun.
That shakalaka baby is a straight lift from a Spanish album. ARR calls its inspiration. The Vellai mazhai from Roja from Kraft Werk, Killathae Killathae in Gentleman from Osibisa's Hileley hileley, otagathai katigo from a Raja's song in thirumathi pazhanisami ... The list is never ending. Raja too has lifted from Sounds of Music for a couple of films. The one known open secret is "Darling..." in Priya, which he says the producer insisted on.

There's a song often flashed on Sat TV's now..Kandha Kadamba Kadhirvela (SAR) and it's blatant lift of `Krishna Mukunda Murari'...

I recenty listened to Kadhaar Thinam album. Has anyone noticed the simiarity of the tune in the song ARR's " Roja Roja" in Kadhaar Thinam to MSV's "Tum he Rasa" - hindi song in Varumaiyin Niram Sivappu.

Chappa chappa ---> chekka chekka samanjaponnu
I think chappa chappa itself sounds dangerously similar to "Moodikko moodikko kaNNa moodikko" from RojAvai kiLLAthey Stg. Arjun sarja & Kushboo. I think MD for this movie is Maragathamani.

ARR didn't leave thiruppukaz (Lit on Lord Murukan). The song "Vetrik kodi kattu" from padayappa uses the same meter of "Muthai tharu Pathi".

Even IR did so. Listen to the song "Pattu chelai thaarenu" from Chipikul Muthu and then listen "Thaazaiyaam poo mudichu".
Listen "Puthu maapilaiku" and then listen "Naan Parthathiley"

I think IR himself mentioned on TV about 'puthu mapillaikku'. Kamal wanted something like it and IR said I will just do the samething ('copy').

if I remember right this was the conversation he mentioned:
kamal : "naan paarththathilE avaL" mathiri oru songs pOdaNumE
IR : athukkenna athaiyE lsaa maaththi pOttuttaa pOguthu.

IMO, only the first few lines' santham of "naan paarththathilE" has been used inputhu maappilaikku. In fact we can easily sing "outhu maappilaikku nalla yOgamada antha maNAmgaL thaan vantha nEramada" in the tune of " naan paarththathilE avaL oruththiyaithaan nalla azagi enbEN nalla azagi enbEn" or voce versa.
