Inspirations

Inspiration is often linked to creativity; in-fact it is said to be one of the forces driving it. At times though, inspiration takes over creativity, leading to disappointment and disgust. I recently experienced such disappointment when i stumbled upon this forwarded email claiming that all the recent hit songs of a particular music director to be 'inspired' by songs from around the world. At first, there was disbelief, then disappointment and finally dislike. It is such a pity that someone has risen to fame on account of work that actually isnt his. Maybe this is not the first account of someone claiming fame on account someone else's work, but this definitely is the first time that evidence of such a shameful act is available publicly.
Such acts makes one wonder if creativity is really in short supply; or is it that aspirations have gone so high that conscious is just a thing of the past? For long artists have known to be inspired by the work of someone, but such inspirations have been acknowledged. A blind reproduction of someone's work, without giving any credits to the original artist is nothing less than theft; and so a criminal offense. And since such work was done for nothing more than money/fame, such persons should be made to part away from all the assets arising out of dishonest work. Furthermore, lyrics, tunes and rhythms should be patented across the world so that such heinous acts can be curbed.

Below are the links to the original compositions of some of our chart busters that i received:
