    Raaja's Composing Fee was Rs. 5,000 for many years, then increased slowly

    Ilayaraaja's copyright lawsuit is known to everyone in South Indian cine world. The Madras High court victory in 2015 was highly publicized and many producers thanked Raaja for the initiative. Watch his brief press meet with Producer Thanu and his explanation on how close friends cheated him. It's very surprising that SPB and Charan embarked on a global tour without talking to their lawyers or sponsors about music royalty. In any SPB concert, his fans always expect him to sing majority of Raaja's compositions. SPB50 organizers should have negotiated payment to IPRS. His global tour started in 2016 with Toronto and Moscow. The latest USA tour started only in March. They had plenty of time to resolve this issue. Unfortunately another close friend has cheated Raaja. The loss is for Indian music lovers who cannot hear SPB singing Raaja's songs in a live setup. It appears that Charan is adamant not to pay any IPRS payment for Raaja's songs but he will pay for Rahman's songs. SPB is now leaning heavily on MSV and KVM's songs since there is no royalty issues for these composers. MSV's family is living a mediocre life and Raaja did a concert in 2016 to collect money for MSV's family. Rajini and Raaja handed over the cheque to MSV's family. SPB and Charan should pay some royalty to MSV for singing his compositions.

    உனதாணை பாடுகின்றேன் நான் ரொம்ப நாளா
    உனக்கென்ன மேலே நின்றாய் ஒ நந்தலாலா
    உனதாணை பாடுகின்றேன் நான் ரொம்ப நாளா
