Be the change you want to bring - Gandhi

I was asked to comment on this post about Illayaraja's TIS ("Thiruvasagam in Symphony"). I disagree with the post completely. I feel if I agree I will be a hypocrite. Firstly, thiruvasagam was there for everyone, so is the music, and so is the symphony. Why cant anybody do what he Illayaraja has done? Since it was his composition, his brain that did the work he has right to decide who can and cannot hear it. I dont see any foul play in this. I dont understand the poor people and their plight in all this. How does TIS change anything?

Less than 2% of the world's population have access to internet and we say it is open to all? No. Somebody pays for everything somewhere. Nothing in this world is free and it should not be free. Saying that music is expensive is something but saying that piracy is ok is entirely another thing.

If one is so concerned about poor, then may be keep only the basic needs satisfies and donate the rest to poor.
