Singer Kaja Ostojić revealed that Romana Panić did not allow her to cover the song “Samoodbrana” which Romana recorded 19 years ago. Kaja paid for the rights to cover the song, but Romana objected and refused permission, calling the song her “personal identity card.” Kaja expressed a wish for her songs to gain new life through covers but gave up on the idea due to bad karma and respect for Romana. This case highlights the current trend of covering old hits and the rights of authors in the music industry.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets might emphasize the artistic freedom and the importance of allowing reinterpretations of music to keep culture vibrant. They may critique the refusal as a limitation on creative expression and highlight the need for more open collaboration among artists.
Center: Center-leaning sources tend to report the facts neutrally, focusing on the details of the dispute between Kaja Ostojić and Romana Panić, explaining the rights payment and Romana’s refusal, without taking a strong stance. They may also provide context about the trend of covering old songs in the music industry.
Right: Right-leaning media might emphasize respect for original artists and their rights, supporting Romana Panić’s decision to protect her ‘personal identity’ in her music. They may frame the story as a matter of respecting intellectual property and traditional values in art.
