Mysuru: Sangeetha Kalaavidara Hitarakshana Vedike Chief Convenor Nagaraj V. Bairy has accused a private copyright agency of seeking Copyright Royalty payment from singers and other artistes for conduct of Musical Nites and other such programmes at public places, auditoriums and halls.
Addressing a press meet here yesterday, Bairy said that singers are presenting orchestra and other cultural programmes at different venues in Mysuru. Most of these programmes have free entry for public. Though the artistes are giving performances by spending their own money, it is a matter of concern that the private agency is harassing the artistes in the name of Copyright Royalty, he maintained.
