The "Harris Jayaraj Hits Mashup" exists in a legal limbo. Under Indian copyright law (Copyright Act, 1957, amended 2012), a mashup qualifies as a "derivative work." However, fair use provisions for "remix" are weakly enforced unless monetized. Most popular mashups are demonetized or claimed by Sony Music India / T-Series. However, the creator gains social capital (subscribers), while the original label gains renewed streaming traffic for decades-old songs. This represents a : the mashup feeds on the original, yet revitalizes the back catalog.
A hallmark of amateur mashups is jarring key changes. Professional-grade Harris Jayaraj mashups exploit the fact that many of his songs are composed in relative minor keys (e.g., C# minor, G minor). The creator uses pivot chords —common between "Ennai Konjam" ( Kaakha Kaakha ) and "Nee Paartha" ( Hey Ram )—to create a harmonic illusion of continuity.
