We have learned that
an unauthorized version
of Unfolding, Niya Yesh
and Beyond Denial was
created in Iran. Those
responsible have: re-titled
the album “Vagheh”;
edited out the original
vocals by Mamak Khadem
and replaced them with
vocals by a male singer
named Khousro Kazemi;
and altered the album
cover (the original cover
has a picture of a whirling
woman; the illegal cover
has pictures of Loga,
Mamak, and one or more
male singers). This was
done entirely without
authorization, and is
an affront to the original
artists involved, as well
as an infringement of
copyright. |
