The “Copyright” Project

A very exciting new Music Video is in the works featuring top Chassidic Music stars.

The clip which is Directed by Danny Finkelman (Unity for Justice, The Japan song) is Produced by FM Productions from London and focuses on the countless downloads that are taking place within the community causing major losses to the Jewish music industry

The song lyrics which are in both Yiddish and English, were written by Motty Ilowitz and Moshe Kravitsky and speak about the copyright issues that have effected the industry, yet adds a comic twist to it all as it focuses on ‘A day in the life of a Chassidic Music star’ while the camera follows the artist – as portrayed by Chassidic comedian Yoily Leibowitz – throughout his “artistic” day.

The cast also includes Michoel Schnitzler, Ohad, Shloime Gertner, Beri Weber, Dovid Gabai, Yoily Greenfeld, Yumi Lowy, Yitzchak Fuchs, Shloime Daskal, and composer Yossi Green. with cameo appearances by Chassidic Music producers Gershy Moshkowitz, Naftoli Moshe Schnitzler, Ruli Ezrachi, Mendy Werdyger, and others.

Musical arrangements by Hershy Ginsberg.

This Music Video is being sponsored by Israel’s Magen David Adom, Ami magazine, Klein’s Ice Cream House, Rykar, and Jewish music distribution oulets – ‘Nigun’, ‘Sameach’, ‘Gal Paz’, and ‘Aderet’. And is intended to be released following the Jewish holidays in October.
