Ilaiyaraaja Songs Copy Right Issue:

Ilaiyaraaja filed copyright violation cases against Agi Music Pvt Ltd, Unisys Info Solution Pvt Ltd, and Giri Trading Company. In 2014, the High Court banned these companies from selling records that used the composer's hits.

The case is going on court against the Echo Company in which the company states that Ilaiyaraaja is being granted a right over the 4,500 songs between 1970 and 1990. 

Echo mentions that they have purchased the song from the movie's respective producers, and stated Ilaiyaraaja has given licenses to his music to other companies and mentioned using the single Judge order, Ilaiyaraaja earned money from both the Echo Company and other companies.

The court decided that the musician cannot solely own the song as the lyrics hold equal importance to the song and the court said it will continue on the case on June 2.

Recently, Ilaiyaraaja also sent notice to the makers of Coolie movie. Coolie is an upcoming Rajinikanth movie which was the highly anticipated movie of the year. Lokesh Kanagaraj joining hands with Rajinikanth adds hype to the movie Coolie and the movie has released its title teaser, which gets a positive response from the fans.

Coolie title teaser used the "Va Va Pakkam Va" song from the movie Thangamagan. Ilaiyaraaja got to know about the song used in Coolie title teaser and sent a copyright notice to Sun Pictures for claiming his song without his permission.
