Say yes to Piracy!!!!!!!!

"Be Original ; Buy Original". This is what hear and see around while watching movie channels or a original CD/DVD. Bollywood produces approximately 5 times more movies than the Hollywood; but the irony is that most of them are direct versions of the later. I wont go and name the movies which are the direct copy as we all know it. Everytime I read a review of a movie it says " xxx inspired by the Hollywood yyy". And these guys stand up and say be Original and Buy original. Well whats original?? and who are they to tell us? Inspirations can be there but the extent of copiability includes story line, the dialogues, the screenplay, the MUSIC ( utmost disgusting). "Kya Mughe Pyaar Hai" is one song I loved but then I came to know - Copied from famous Indonesian Band. Why the bollywoodians want us to pay them for work which they merely copied?. The need is to bring more creativity in the Indian flim industry. Let the right writers get a hand to chance. There is one more need - the flim crew needs to be paid less; why dont Indian music industry be in losses as they dont have talent, No talent no money. If you are copying then let people pay you 2 bucks and not millions and billions. WHo are these guys copying ? Well the list includes the so called best in bollywood:
1) AR Rehman ( he is wonderful) but copying directly from his first movie, even Miachel Jackson Dangerous he used)
2) Mahesh Bhatt (Hopeless Director/ Producer) - His movies are mostly American verions. Latest being "The Killer" inspired by Collateral
3) Ram Gopal Verma: ( he sometimes accept) - Sarkar, Naach, Road, Mr ya Miss etc..
4) Anu Mallik: off this guy cant make orignals. so as Bappi Lehri.
The list goes on and we dont need to jot this up. But strangely the bollywood guys are finding copying process a bit tedious. So now what? remake old Indian classics ( many copied) Don, Umraoo Jaan , Sholay etc.
I am personally against piracy but have no choices so flimmakers has to make it like this:
" Be original Buy Original, only if available" and most of the time availabilty is not. I came accross a beautiful link of copied filmi list "http://www.akhilesh.in/life/india/bollywoodinspirations.php", you may find it informative.
