What was Ablaze Productions thinking when they virtually left the Volyn Song & Dance Ensemble on the streets of Toronto. Also what gives Ablaze the rights to steal intellectual property which clearly belongs to the Volyn group.<BR/><BR/>Any CDs and DVDs released by Ablaze concerning Volyn was done without any permission or copyright considerations. This is according to Stadnyk and Lebedev from the Volyn group. Productions companies cannot just acquire copyrighted material and then reproduce at will and the actual performers don't even make any commissions. This is just plain wrong.<BR/><BR/>To correct some inaccuracies Volyn will not be held accountable for the $40,000 loan from the Governor of Volyn according to Stadnyk. I'm sure that's a load off of their minds.<BR/><BR/>They are lining up a couple of more shows in the Toronto area before they return to Ukraine. Bravo to this ensemble which did not fold up in the face of adversity. <BR/><BR/>Slava UkrainiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
