A veteran musician, Zaaki Azzay has decried ignorance of copyright laws and intellectual property matters amongst young artistes.
Speaking in an interview with Pot Pourri, he said: "I really think there is a lot that needs to be done when it comes to educating young, upcoming artistes about royalties, copyright, and related issues. When I was the Vice President of PMAN, these were some of the topics we were very particular about. Most of those kinds of responsibilities actually lie with PMAN - that is what PMAN is supposed to be doing. Instead of PMAN owning up to its responsibilities, it is obvious that what the association has been known for over the years, even till now, is infighting and greed".
