Abuja - The Copyright Society of Nigeria
(COSON) has brought a five billion naira
legal action against the Cross River State
Carnival Commission, the Governor of
Cross River State and the Attorney
General of the state.
In the Suit No FHC/L/CS/1544/13 filed
at the Federal High Court, the Tony
Okoroji-led COSON is claiming that the
Calabar Carnival organised by the Cross
River Carnival Commission on behalf of
the Cross River State government uses,
without any license or authorisation,
various musical works and sound
recordings belonging to its members.
Commenting on the development,
COSON's general manager, Chinedu
Chukwuji said, "I know how hard we
have tried to engage the officials of the
Cross River State Government to find an
amicable answer. The problem is that in
this day and age, many supposedly
educated Nigerians still do not take
intellectual property matters seriously."
