In today’s age of music and art, it’s not as easy as you might think to produce a brand new song without being accused of plagiarising another artist. Virtually every topic has already been covered in a song, and there are only so many note combinations, which can make it difficult to create a song that is completely different from everything else. Plagiarism accusations and copyright infringement lawsuits are nothing new in music. Plagiarism happens in music, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose. Sometimes it's "unconscious borrowing", other times it's a "musical homage". When artists are accused of plagiarism, it results in costly legal battles to resolve the issue. Needless to say, you don’t want this to happen. If you think it just happens to newcomers, think again. Recently, a singer from Umarkot, Nirmala Maghani, has claimed that Coke Studio 14’s Tu Jhoom has been plagiarised from a sample that she sent to the show producer Xulfi in June 2021, when she was auditioning for a spot on the show. However, the show’s PR team denied the claim and released an official statement as well as a video clip showing that work on the composition of Tu Jhoom had already begun in May 2021, making Nirmala’s accusations completely invalid.
