The DJ who produced the viral song ‘Selos’ already made a statement following the copyright issue they were facing.
It can be recalled that the Bangsamoro Pop Queen Shaira, faced criticism on social media after some netizens noticed that her song had the same melody as a song from an international artist.
In his now-deleted Facebook post, DJ Charles addressed their critics, saying that even the people who used “Selos” on their content didn’t ask for permission.
“Ito lang ang masasabi ko at itatak nyo sa isip nating mga pinoy. Humingi rin ba kayo nang permiso kay Shaira at ang AHS Channel tungkol sa kanta na inilabas namin na nacopyright dahil din sa mga pinoy at pagkakitaan nyo sa mga vlog nyo? Diba wala? Naki alam ba kami sa inyo?” DJ Charles wrote.
“Siguro kung mga abs or gma at iba pang tv commercial maiintidihan ko pero hays. Sa totoo lang pinoy din po ang sumira sa kapwa nya pinoy,” he added.
He then asked the netizens if they hadn’t experienced copying someone’s work throughout their life.
“Kasi simula nang pinanganak tayo at nag-aral sa paaralan ni minsan di nyo po ba nagawa mangopya? Kung di niyo po yan nagawa. Eh scientist napo kayo ngayun pramis. Hindi po namin yun ninakaw kasi kung ninakaw yun pati si Lenka kinuha ko na dadalhin ko sa bahay,” he stated.
Shaira’s management already released a statement, saying that they voluntarily removed “Selos” on different online platforms while fixing their copyright issue.
