After
his
recent
stand-up
act
that
grabbed
national
attention,
Kunal
Kamra
now
faces
trouble
from
a
source
he
probably
didn’t
expect.
Kamra
had
criticised
Maharashtra
Deputy
Chief
Minister
Eknath
Shinde,
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
and
Finance
Minister
Nirmala
Sitharaman
by
singing
parody
songs
on
them.
A
parody
on
a
song
from
Roop
Ki
Rani
Choron
Ka
Raja
provoked
T-Series,
the
music
company,
to
file
a
copyright
infringement
of
their
song.
“Kunal
Kamra
has
not
taken
any
authorisation
or
approval
for
the
usage
of
the
underlying
musical
work
in
the
song,”
a
T-Series
spokesperson
told
Rediff.com,
“hence
the
content
has
been
blocked
for
infringement
of
composition
rights.”
Kunal,
of
course,
is
in
no
mood
for
an
apology
or
backing
down.
He
tweeted,
‘Hello
T-Series,
stop
being
a
stooge.
Parody
&
Satire
comes
under
fair
use
legally.
I
haven’t
used
the
lyrics
or
the
original
instrumental
of
the
song.
If
you
take
this
video
down
every
cover
song/dance
video
can
be
taken
down.
‘Creators
please
take
a
note
of
it.
Having
said
that
every
monopoly
in
India
is
nothing
short
of
Mafia
so
please
watch/download
this
special
before
it’s
taken
down.
FYI
T-Series
I
stay
in
Tamil
Nadu.’
