Shironamhin, a popular Bangladeshi band, has accused G-Series of unauthorized commercial exploitation of their songs on digital platforms, violating a 2018 Bangladesh Copyright Board ruling granting the band copyright over 30 songs from their albums "Jahaji," "Ichchhe Ghuri," and "Bondho Janala." Despite this ruling, G-Series continued monetizing the music online. The Bangladesh Copyright Office has demanded an explanation from G-Series CEO Nazmul Hoque Bhuiyan, who plans to consult his lawyer. G-Series released the albums between 2004 and 2009 and registered the copyrights in their name, leading to Shironamhin's legal action. The board revoked G-Series' certificates, affirming the band's ownership. G-Series has appealed, arguing their investment entitles them to distribute the albums across all media.
