Guess it's stupid! Even MS, CT, Sunil, Jim Reeves or whomsoever you name, started by singing songs of others. Does the sole ownership of a song belongs to the singer? How about the composer, music providers?

I'm glad he was granted bail. There are so many big fish freely roaming around and our police is behind these small sprats!

A song shall be a public property, whoever got the talent may sing it. If the original owner is no longer exists no one shall have the ownership for a song except a one who can sing it properly.

This boy has a in born talent to sing like our dear singer MS Fernando.Not only he can sing like him but also he dance like him.Non of Mr.Fernando's sons could not do this that's why they are jealous.If this is the Law of this world then they should arrest all the people sing in Karaoke bars all over the world .Mind you they all sing other peoples songs.
