I visited this forum yesterday after some months and saw lots of posts related to haryanavimusic.com. I will touch upon three main issues that are raised frequently.
1. Not allowing people to download music from the site:
I do not have the copy-rights of any music posted on the site. Hence distributing any music from the site will violate those copy-rights. The site was started with an intent to promote and make haryanavi music accessible to those people who do not readily have access to it (mostly people living out side India or away from Haryana and nearby regions, most of other people can easily buy cassettes and CDs). Many producers have already raised objections for even posting their music on the site. In fact one of them even threatened to initiate a legal action.
The site is a non-profit site and does not have a commercial motive. Hence neither I am bothered nor concerned that Shiv Kumar Chaudhary was/is able to download files from the site and is re-distributing it.
Many other sites/people distribute music illegally but I have no intentions of doing the same.
2. Site not being updated frequently:
haryanavimusic.com is not my main domain of work and I built this site and manage it out of my personal time and resources. I try to post new music as and when I can spare time and get hold of cassettes from India and as of today site has a fair representation of our music. Intent is not to upload every new song/raagani/comedy play that is released in the market (tons of them).
Uploading videos require lost of storage space and bandwidth. Moreover, there are to many that are released every day. Hence I will not upload any more videos unless and until I come across a play/movie which is popular and fits in the vision of the site. Focus is more on the Saang/raagani.
3. Responding to the queries sent to the site admin:
I try to respond to every email that I receive as the site admin. However, I extend my apology to those who sent an email/query and did not receive a response.
Thank you,
Ravi...
