What is fair for the composer may not be fair for the music label or the listener or the manufacturer. In India, the pride of place goes to film music which is purchased by music companies much like a housewife purchases vegetables in the market. Just as a housewife has no role in the making of the vegetables a music company has no role in the making of the music. Their interest begins and ends in the sale of music. Music companies are pure marketing firms. If India were to be overrun by the Taliban and music were to be banned these music labels will merely start selling something else. Most companies are run by executives who have no interest in the music except to keep the exclusive rights to sell it. The Indian public are also responsible for this situation as they insist that only music from 'films' can be called music. As music companies pay exorbitant amounts of money to buy the copyrights to these film songs they block all use of it unless they are paid for it. You can't blame them for that. If the public would open their minds to music from anyone or anywhere instead of being just from films there would be no such problems. My advise to the music listener is to stop being hung up on film songs and start to listen to privately produced albums including albums recorded by the same artists who sing film songs.
