The following is via OnlySimchas.com:
The news broke Tuesday that someone seemingly stole a song from the studio where Avraham Fried was recording and sent it out to the world on Whatsapp and email.
The song is title Ribon Ha�Oilomim.
Fried just released a statement saying �I am shocked that this song was released without my knowledge and without my approval. This song, when complete is intended to be included in my next Hasidic album. I suggest those who released the song without my knowledge � ask me for forgiveness before Rosh�Hashanah and Yom Kippur.�

Stolen right from the studio-! Despicable.
Wow! What has our world come to?!
Horrible, just plain horrible.
Avraham Fried is a mentch.
Kol hakavod
Can depend on Avremela to always speak with pleasantness, no finger pointing, rhetoric, anger, or hostility. Much to be learned from this mensch.
I thought the title of his new song was “Stolen And Distributed.”
Well put and stated by Avraham Fried. Genava is genava, and the gonif must ask Fried and G-d for forgivness. Well stated.
Either this is a sick new way of copying goyish music’s promotion tactics, or the studio engineers may have had a dispute over money.
Usually these stories end up being something completely different then what was originally alleged.
It isn’t halachicly correct to term copying non-tangible goods as geneiva. Non-tangible goods are protected by hasagas gvul, but hasagas gvul is a different issur than geneiva.
Brooklynhocker might be on to something. It could be a warning. I wonder if the other songs are being held. It would be interesting to have a choshen mishpot dayan paskin as to who actually owns the songs before it is put on a CD and without a specific contract spelling out all the details.
