Student To Pay £404,000 To Record Labels For Piracy by hortongate(m): 1:56pm On Aug 01, 2009 |
A university student in America has to pay £404,000 to 4 record labels for illegally dowloading and transferring music. Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1203608/Illegal-download-student-shared-music-online-ordered-pay-404-000-record-labels.html Huge sum in Naira, about N101,000,000. It might be a bit excessive within the circumstance but in my view quite deserving. That's the only way piracy can be stopped. If only the Nigerian Government would show a bit more seriousness like this, then Nigerian artistes would not have to rely solely on shows for survival. How do we get the Copyrights Commission to act? |
