The artist said Akram Hosny During his meeting with the media, Lamis Al-Hadidi on the “A Last Word” program, he said he wished to be present on the program in order to celebrate her success, but I am disturbed by what happened.
He added: “I won’t respond through my work, but when it comes to my reputation, I had to respond with documents, and this is the right of the audience, and also for the sake of King Muhammad Munir, who entrusted me with making the song, and finally, my appearance in front of my children and accusing me of theft, and this affects my reputation.”
And he continued, “I was surprised that the song was deleted from YouTube, even though I am with the intellectual property rights, because I am once morest theft, and in it a young singer said that I used his melody, and music and law experts are the ones who decide on this false claim.”
Akram Hosni affirmed: “First of all, the melody is folklore and is inspired by the Upper Egyptian heritage. Anyone who uses it has the right to use it, but at the same time it has a “action” and an artistic vision.”
As soon as the song “Laly” was released, Akram Hosni faced accusations of stealing the lyrics and melody of the song, as singer Mahmoud Al-Mansi appeared in a video in which he said: “I was surprised that the melody of the song (Kobe Best) is from my song. A creative artist, but I adhere to my literary right very much.” The poet Adel Saber accused Akram Hosni of stealing the lyrics of the song and decided to take legal measures once morest him..
In turn, Akram Hosni wrote through his account on “Facebook” in response to these accusations: “The similarity of a sentence from the song with a sentence from a poet from southern Egypt does not mean theft, but rather a natural influx of ideas.” He added: “I believe in intellectual property rights as I believe that artistic theft creates temporary success.” I have been writing songs for 8 years through programs and series that I presented“.
Akram added: “Before I used the melody of any song, I would return to the Association of Authors and Composers and pay the fees to preserve the owners of intellectual property rights, and whoever does this, it is difficult to put himself in a situation like this. My main profession is an actor and I love making songs as a hobby. Credit to myself as a poet“.
