Atif Aslam’s Management Gets Rights of Unofficial Fan Pages

Since recently I have seen a lot of musicians complaining about not having the ownership of their fan pages. A lot of fans, promoters, blogs/websites tend to create fan pages of musicians while they aren’t authorized to do so. With the fame or popularity of musician they then grab tons of fans and promote content that doesn’t really relate to page. This also results in multiple pages about the same thing and fans get distributed between.

This not only results in promotion of non-relevant content but kills the artist-fan discussion that fan page can very well induce.

Today, Atif Aslam‘s management has claimed rights on all the unofficial pages made on Atif Aslam on Facebook which included fan pages with over 100,000 members. This resulted in deletion of all unauthorized fan pages and not only that, Facebook was kind enough to shift all the fans to the official fan page which now has over 255,000 fans.

I think it’s a great step by the artist management and an eye-opener for those who had been complaining about it earlier.
