Estate Of ‘A Chorus Line’ Composer To Sue Drew Olivar For Copyright Infringement

65E642B9-AD5C-4BCE-9D3F-B98E4D3F019E.jpegNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – The estate of Marvin Hamlisc, composer of the musical “A Chorus Line,” is suing Filipino blogger Drew Olivar for copyright infringement.

The lawsuit stems from Olivar’s now viral video with Mocha Uson, showing him displaying his song and dance moves supposedly calling attention to Federalism.  His piece is entitled “Pepedederalismo.”

We won’t show you the Olivar video here.  There’s a lot of that already floating on the Internet.  What we will show you is an excerpt from one of the live performances of “A Chorus Line,” particulary of the song “Tits and Ass.”

We’ll let our readers decide on the merits of the lawsuit.

”Tunay na nakakabahala. Nguni’t higit sa lahat, sayang ang perang nilabhan.  Bakit kailangang gawin ito? Madumi naman talaga ang pera, hindi na dapat labhan at ikula. Sana, ipinamahagi na lang ito sa mga kababayan natin sa laylayan.”
