Late singer Nazia Hassan’s brother Zoheb Hassan has accused the Pakistan Super League of copyright infringement over the duo’s iconic song ‘Disco Dewane’, which was sang by Aima Baig at the opening ceremony of PSL4.
The legendary singer’s brother, in a tweet, expressed shock over the rendition by the franchise without prior permission.
I was shocked to see that a reputable platform like PSL used our track Disco Dewane without our prior permission. Outright infringement of intellectual property should be condemned and I am going to take a legal stand on this one ! https://t.co/4WA9roWNmE
