Let me add this. People who are saying he used their trademark name so there is no case. For Shoprite to av collected Farouk's product, told him they would get back to him and subsequently used d song for advert, it means they have accepted d product. Therefore Farouk has a case with them. He should be getting above 50m naira depending on how long Shoprite have been airing d song. Just dat Farouk's lawyer has to b careful not to lose d case on technicalities. 3 Likes |

A lot of people don't read contents of a topic,they just read the topic and jump straight to comment section. The man submitted the song to Shoprite for jingle consideration, they have no rights to use it without his knowledge. Even worse he wasn't paid for it. Shoprite deserves the lawsuit, it's best for them to agree on an out of court settlement Iamvjdamilola: Can't you pass your message across without sounding rude and uncouth? Your post reeks of ignorance, it's very obvious you have no idea how litigation works. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

lovienna:and stupidly like that you throw away your rights... he isn’t demanding to be paid for how much shoprite made, but to be paid for all the efforts and time he put into studying music for years, get a producer to produce for him, composing a song , writing it then voicing and mixing it before releasing it, just for one company to come take his efforts for granted. 1 Like |

fowlyansh181: Read the report again. It said "shoprite". And not "shop right", which presumably is what the complainant gave the reporter. So he has no case here, for real. |

DNSPro:You think you are wise but you are not. All he needs to do is to pen down the shoprite in his song as shopryt, the fact that they have the same pronunciation doesn't make it your own. Besides, what you have as evidence faruk is audio record which can be alter in writing but with the same pronunciation. And I hope you know that shoprite PLC, shoprite ltd and shoprite are three different things in the eyes of the law. Also, their is what is called implied consent or so. By admitting the audio for use without legal action against Faruk, shoprite had impliedly consented to the use of its name by Faruk. 2 Likes |

fowlyansh181: If Shoprite decide to go to court, does the hungry opportunist have the financial warchest to match them? Also, why did he approach them to sell song to them in the first place? Dude was looking for a way to feed on their brand. He has no case really. In some cases, this is termed a "bad faith" in other cases involving URLs it would be termed cybersquatting |
