Composer Saimir Çili has denounced Albanian Radio Television today, regarding his song "Stars of Hope".

Chile claims that RTSH has stolen the authorship of this song, which he sang in 1997 with Eneda Tarifa at the Song Festival.

More specifically, RTSH posted this song on its "You Tube" channel 4 days ago and then Saimir Çili also posted it on his YouTube channel, but RTSH blocked it due to copyright.

He declares that it is scandalous that RTSH is receiving income from "Youtube" without any written and signed contract. The composer calls on the Albanian Public Radio and Television to unblock the video and give him the income earned from "Youtube", otherwise he will sue him in court.

The full reaction on social networks:

Scandalous…

RTSH has started to become the owner of songs composed and sung by me.

Open theft...

Without any type of contract written in black on white, RTSH steals the revenue that comes from YouTube clicks. In 1997 there was no YouTube and consequently no written and signed contract.

With the greatest shame, without any agreement, it blocks my song on my YouTube channel, and RTSH publishes it on its channel. RTSH's only claim is the pretext that you are paid for songs.

While I was paid in 1997 - 13,500 new FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE FESTIVAL, not to be robbed 26 years later...

I call on the leaders of RTSH to take immediate measures

1-Unblocking the song

2-Or Agreement for the income from Youtube, to be divided according to the rules, the video part and the audio part.

Otherwise you will face in Court.
