Remember the time when one could not go about the day's work without listening to atleast one song by Alisha Chinai? Well, it is not the case anymore as you must have noticed. And as it turns out, her disappearance from the music scene has a lot to do with copyright laws.
The song went on to become an anthem, but Alisha was paid only a paltry sum of Rs 15,000, she alleges. "I was shocked when I received a cheque of only Rs 15,000 from YRF. I gave it back, but they sent it to me again." "I was aghast when I learnt that YRF was acquiring a royalty on my song whenever I sang it abroad
She is right about that. Tom Cruise lip-syncing to Jai Ho would be an absolute nightmare.
