So i don't think there'll be any problem with that at all. Besides whenever BnS have remade or remixed a song, they always do it following the correct procedure. Everyone accusing them about the wasanthaye i advice them to check the booklet that came with the album. they had acknowledged that the song was made using the air on G string music piece. BnS are actually doing a huge favor to the Sri Lankan music by remaking old songs. If you take either master sir or Ma handawala they've remade the songs in a such a caliber that the original artists are really proud of that. I heard the lyricist of Master Sir commenting about BnS version, He claimed that tears actually fell from his eyes after hearing that version. BnS have lead the Sri Lankan music in to such revolutionizing situation. we are actually on par with the international music. I'm not trying to defend BnS here, but no one in Sri Lankan music has such stage presence, no one is dynamic as them and no one reaches out to the audience as them. anyone who had seen them performing would certainly agree with me! besides i don't see what's all this fuss about? they are giving the credit to the original artists. heck! we had singers in 70s that carbon copied hindi movie song tunes and sung them in sinhala. the songs even had matching sinhala lyrics to the hindi ones? these guys are just trying to bring the old songs to the youth in a manner that they can enjoy. and arts is not necessarily all about creating something new, it's also about presenting something that's already there in a fresh and different manner!</blockquote>
