Finally, we got an official statement from SM about the whole plagiarising issue. According to SM Ent rep and SM Entertainment owns the copyright of ‘Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)’. It’s expected as SM always play it safe. BUT the surprising thing is, despite being released months earlier, the Uzbekistan version has no legal rights to record the song.

SNSD, who has been surrounded by controversy due to plagiarism claims, have found that it was actually the female singer from Uzbekistan that used the SNSD without permission, and have received a huge shock.
The song had been recently circulating around the the internet titled ‘Tell Me your Wish Original Song’ and caused a stir among netizens. The song ‘Ruqsga Tushgin’ performed by female Uzbekistan singer Dineyra was uploaded on to YouTube in April, sparking rumors that SNSD were plagiarizing music.
However, it was revealed that it was in fact Dineyra, not SNSD, that had used the song without permission.
Universal Music Publishing Group, who own the rights to ‘Tell Me Your Wish’ stated on the 2nd of July that “We do not know who Dineyra from Uzbekistan is, and we have never given her permission to use this song.” and continued to say, “Dineyra’s version is clearly a case of plagiarism.” They also stated, “We will pursue legal action over this blatant plagiarism.” and vented their frustration.
SM Entertainment also released a statement, saying, “The rights to SNSD’s ‘Tell Me Your Wish’ were bought officially from Universal Music Publishing group by SM, and received permission to release it for the first time in the world. We received a demo from the Dsign team, and SM adjusted the song, editing the melody and lyrics to create the new song.” clarifying the rumors.

SNSD Korean 
Sigh. even though they r free of guilt, this undoubtedly has caused many people to misunderstand that our beloved SNSD actually plagiarised. Just look at those comments at allkpop. Those people even commented be4 reading the whole article.
yes, this is very relieving!! stay strong soshi!
SNSD FTWWW
Thanks on the OFFICIAL update! Now people can stop complaining about my post 😛 had to unapprove some new comments for being silly about what I was saying… which I don’t understand, cuz I never said SM or anyone under SM (including SNSD) was at fault anyway. Jeez, silly readers.

I was about to say…
What the hell is up with people trying so hard to give SNSD such a bad rep? Seriously…
At least they’re not singing Milkshake. D=
rofl…seriously, i just find this whole thing so amusing ^^
Aight cool, SM aint stealing stuff. Now the odds that Lupe Fiasco will collabo with SNSD has not taken a hit from this. (Don’t act like you wouldn’t be interested in it)
please give a link
my brother heard the song and he said it was as good as SNSD’s Tell Me Your Wish. FML.
Hmm, first the “safety shorts” issue, now this? Hell yeah the girls are getting lotsa attention from the press! Something tells me that their album sales will jet up higher than Gee this time around.
pheww finally an offical update from SM
well, at least the girls won’t be mixed up in this trouble. it’s just between SM and Dineyra.
At least it won’t cut into their profits. Plagarism would have been costly — and they don’t make all that much as it is.
I think I had heard some melody of “Tell me your wish” before, and that version sing by female american singer.
She sing like “everybody got a superstar” or something like that and I really miss that song
can somebody tell me about this??
