Defining the News

Shaira’s song “Selos” has been removed from online streaming platforms as issues regarding copyright come about.

“We have chosen to take it down from all platforms pending our agreement with the original artist’s management on securing a cover license for ‘Selos,’” the agency said in its post on Facebook. Shaira’s song needed to be taken down following a copyright claim as it had used Lenka’s song as a sample and sold it as an original piece without permission from the artist. Notably, a license along with proper credits from the artist and the publishers of the song are needed when sampling so as not to commit copyright infringement.Lenka had confirmed through a reply to a fan’s comment on her Instagram post last March 8 that legal action was being taken with regards to “Selos.

“To those who have been entertained by Shaira’s cover song, we are truly grateful to you for opening your hearts to a song that we once only made public for the sake of entertainment. We certainly did not expect that it will become this big to a point where Shaira will be known as the ‘Queen of Bangsamoro Pop.’ We could not be prouder,” the agency said.
