SPB had to stop performing songs composed by Ilayaraja. There was a wave of shock when he served a legal notice on singer SP Balasubrahmanyam (SPB), who has given a huge number of hits with the composer when he was performing concerts in the US. The composer also filed cases against karaoke apps, TV, FM channels, film director Shankar (of 2.0 fame) and whoever he thought had wronged him. He managed to get injunctions against several companies from using his music. They had sold the music rights to other companies illegally. The Echo Recording Company, with which producers of various films had entered into agreements, had not paid him royalty. In 2010, he lodged a complaint with the Chennai police that a private firm had commercially exploited his music without his knowledge. His complaint is that he has not received his rightful dues and has been cheated over royalty payments. The composer has been highly litigious in the past few years, fighting for the rights over his music.
