 Politics / Re: Don’t Blackmail CPC And General Buhari - CPC Response To Bluelabs Limited by ejunkie(m): 9:14am On Apr 06, 2011 |
If the so called Buhari, his campaign team and you zealots cannot acknowledge the facts and stop trying to bury this legitimate claim under the wolfish cries of blackmail, then what integrity, honesty and change are you clamouring for? If it were Ribadu of Goodluck that did this infringement on these people, you lot would shout yours selves hoarse with the story. But with Buhari, he can do no wrong. A good man is a man who accepts his faults his mistake, apologises and picks himself back up again and climb higher, it is evident that concept of good is foreign to all the Buhari zealots. Shame on on all you, when you steal from the mouth of children and complain when they try to speak up |

Ignorance they say kills people. Bluelabs as you try to call them: 1- will go to court 2- they will file the case 3- spends hundreds of thousands in doing so 4- they will not get any date till after the elections 5- After the elections, Buhari's campaign people will disappear into the thin air At least this way, the truth will be known, the injustice is made public, the intimidation, insincerity and lack of integrity is laid bare and evident by the responses, and all other intending intellectual property thieves are taught a lesson. At the end of the day, it could have been you |

The fact that Buhari zealots haven't been able squash this truth as they intended accounts for change in itself. It's no secret that ordinary folks like these hardly get justice even with the courts. And no surprise that the Buhari campaign team will simply dissolve into the winds after the elections. In any case, let everyone hear the truth, let the bullies be exposed. Further food for thought Blog Posted: 2011-04-04 While we maintain that it is irrelevant to CPC’s copyright infringement to assert that the infringing video was donated by a volunteer (in spite of the fact that they claim on their facebook page that this infringing video was rejected by the Nigerian Television Authority), since they have decided to go the Youtube route, we have decided to quote certain provisions from the Youtube Terms of Service and Community Guidelines that may assist the Buhari/Bakare/CPC team going forward: YOUTUBE TERMS OF SERVICE Clause 6 B: You shall be solely responsible for your own Content and the consequences of submitting and publishing your Content on the Service. You affirm, represent, and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to publish Content you submit; and you license to YouTube all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to such Content for publication on the Service pursuant to these Terms of Service.

BLUELABS COMMENT: This means that you can only lawfully upload Content (i.e. songs or videos) when you either own the material or have obtained the licence or authorisation to use the material in the Content. YOUTUBE COMMUNITY GUIDELINES What is copyright infringement? Copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner. How To Make Sure Your Video Does Not Infringe Someone Else's Copyrights The way to ensure that your video doesn't infringe someone else's copyright is to use your skills and imagination to create something completely original. It could be as simple as taping some of your friends fooling around or as complicated as filming your own short movie with a script, actors and the whole works. If it's all yours, you never have to worry about the copyright—you own it! Make sure to follow the other guidelines in the terms of use, too. Be sure that all components of your video are your original creation—even the audio portion. For example, if you use an audio track of a sound recording owned by a record label without that record label's permission, your video may be infringing the copyrights of others. BLUELABS COMMENT: Even Youtube advises its users not to use audio tracks if you are not authorised to do so. What more can we say? http://buharistoleouridea.com/art.php?id=10 |

@meine Good question about the court. Lets be objective. Papers filed with the court today, yeah? Guess what? no hearing day till after elections. Even though we are still pursuing this end, the fact is when injustice like this happens, best is to let the whole world know, why? So it serves as a case study for things like these. Furthermore social media is the real power the little guy has in these sort of matters, so it won't be sept under the carpet as has been done so far. Funny with the allegations of PDP. Why must we always blame it on somebody. Cry wolf, blame the villagers, the evil aunty, the black cat that crossed by. Why can't just be what it is. So a wrong has been done, they told you to buzz off!, refuse to acknowledge all gentlemanly communications, what do you do really? In any case, the release made by the CPC on its website and facebook about the matter further serves as evidence for court proceedings so all is not lost. |

@Honeric Rejoinder to Buhari/Bakare/CPC Campaign Rebuttal Blog Posted: 2011-04-01 1.

@Honeric The Facts Blog Posted: 2011-04-01 If everyone that got cheated, laid back and sulked, how will justice prevail? While many Buhari supporters complain and insult us (understandably) here are the facts: 9th August 2010 - Bluelabs issued a brief to Cobhams Asuquo Music Productions (CAMP) to write and compose the transformation song. See the brief document 31st August 2010 - CAMP delivered the final version of the Transformation Song with lyrics to Bluelabs. See the release document 13th October 2010 - Bluelabs Published the song and video (Transformation - A youth revolution). www.transformationng.com 28 March 2011 - It came to our notice that Buhari Campaign had used the song without permission and gained favourably so, from the action 29th March 2001 - Travelled to Abuja to CPC HQ with our lawyers (Trenchard Partners) to discuss the issue amicably and deliver a cease and desist letter while demanding for compensation within 48 hours. 30th March 2011 - After all attempts to see Alhaji Wada Maida (CPC DG, Media) failed and after non-progressive to interaction with the CPC officials we came in contact with. We met with a friend (A sub committee member in the party) who promised to liase with the CPC and get back to us unfailingly by C.O.B 31st March. 31st March 2001 - (AM) Got contact from a Chike Madegbuna who claims to be in charge of the website team, and insists we have our facts wrong despite our submitted evidence and document unlicensed use of the work on all CPC official e-channels (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube). He asked to meet next week to discuss (We are still waiting) 31st March 2001 - (AM) We noted that CPC deleted the material from their official e-channels (facebook, website, twitter). This was done without notice to Bluelabs as was in accordance with the letters prepared by our lawyers and is viewed as an attempt to dispose of evidence. 31st March 2001 - Got contact from C.A.M.P that certain CPC personnel contacted them to obtain the rights to use the song (quite belated and dishonestly) 31st March 2001 - (PM) 48 hour notice issued to CPC expired without any official contact. 1st April 2011 - Our Lawyers initiated filing of legal proceedings with CPC in the courts. http://buharistoleouridea.com/art.php?id=7 |

@ honeric01 Copyright in Nigeria is regulated by the Copyright Act, Chapter C28, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, referred to hereafter as ‘the Act’. Section 1 of the Act lists the material or work that is eligible for copyright as literary works, musical works, artistic works, cinematographic films, sound recordings and broadcasts. The section provides further that literary, musical or artistic work will only be eligible for copyright where ‘sufficient effort has been expended on making the work to give it an original character;’ and ‘the work has been fixed in any definite medium of expression now known or later to be developed, from which it can be perceived, reproduced or otherwise communicated, ’ Section 2 confers copyright on every work eligible for copyright of which the author is an individual who is a citizen of or is domiciled in Nigeria; or a body corporate incorporated under the laws of Nigeria. Section 6 of the Act describes the general nature of copyright. According to this section, ‘copyright in a work shall be the exclusive right to control the doing in Nigeria , in the case of a literary or musical work, to do and authorise the doing of the following acts – i. Reproduce the work in any material form; ii. Publish the work; iii. Perform the work in public; iv. Produce, reproduce, perform or publish any translation of the work; v. Make any cinematographic film or a record in respect of the work; vi. Distribute to the public, for commercial purposes, copies of the work, by way of rental, lease, hire, loan or similar arrangements; vii. Broadcast or communicate the work to the public by a loudspeaker or any other similardevice; viii. Make any adaptation of the work; ix. Do in relation to a translation or an adaptation of the work, any of the acts specified in relation to the work in sub-paragraphs (i) –(vii) of this paragraph.’ With regard to first ownership of copyright, Section 10(1) of the Act provides copyright shall vest initially in the author of an eligible work. Section 10(2) provides that where a work is commissioned by a person who is not the author’s employer, or not having been commissioned, is made in the course of the author’s employment, the copyright shall in the first instance belong to the author, unless otherwise stipulated in writing under the contract. Section 15 of the Act states that ‘copyright is infringed by any person who without the licence or authorisation of the owner of the copyright does or causes any person to do an act, the doing of which is controlled by copyright’. With regard to defences against an action for infringement, the Act provides in Section 16(3) that ‘if it is proved or admitted that an infringement was committed but that at the time of the infringement the defendant was not aware and had no reasonable grounds for suspecting that copyright subsisted in the work to which the action relates, the plaintiff shall not be entitled under this section to any damages against the defendant, ’(emphasis mine) ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION 1. Is the Transformation Song eligible for copyright? According to the law, Yes, as it is an original work made by a Nigerian individual or company. 2. Who owns the copyright to the Transformation Song? According to the law, first ownership would vest in the Cobhams Asuquo Musical Production Company (‘CAMP’). However, it has been agreed in writing by Blue Labs (who commissioned the work) and CAMP (who produced the work) that copyright in the work is vested in Blue Labs. Therefore, Blue Labs owns the copyright to the Transformation Song. 3. Does the use by Buhari/Bakare and the CPC constitute infringement? According to the law, Yes. Blue Labs is currently vested with the exclusive right to broadcast, reproduce, publish or make any adaptation of the work. The Buhari/Bakare Campaign Organisation and the CPC have done with the Transformation Song what they would only have been entitled to do if they had obtained authorisation or a licence from the owner of the copyright to the Transformation Song (i.e. Blue Labs). 4. Are Buhari/Bakare and the CPC liable for the infringement? Yes. It is untenable for them to say that they had no reasonable grounds to suspect that copyright subsisted in the Transformation Song. The song has lyrics, so it must have been composed by someone. The lyrics in the song are set to music, indicating that it must have been composed by someone. Where there is obviously an author, and where thelyrics of the song suggest that it is actually a recent composition, it would be extremely tenuous to suggest that no reasonable grounds existed for suspecting that copyright subsisted in the work. CONCLUSION The facts of this matter and the relevant law are clear and leave very little room for controversy, in our opinion. As practitioners of intellectual property law, it is our duty to assist our clients in protecting their intellectual property rights when violated, regardless of when the violation occurred or who the violators are. In our opinion, given the law as it stands today, our clients (Blue Labs) have been wronged and there is a need for this wrong to be addressed.

Its a shame really, steal a lot of money as a big public figure, go free, steal 1000 naira, go to jail for poor men. Stand up for your right against a big public figure when you have been truly wronged, get labelled a blackmailer. , real shame, where no one stands up for the little guys, no one checks the truth, everybody assumes you can't be telling the truth. CPC is wrong here and the ideal thing will be to do the honourable thing, apoogise and move on. This is what happens when you stomp you wait around |

@Wadoye - 2. Even if the CPC claim their donor obtained the soundtrack from Youtube, Youtube’s Terms of Service provide in paragraph 6D as follows – “You further agree that Content you submit to the Service will not contain thirdparty copyrighted material, or material that is subject to other third party proprietary rights, unless you have permission from the rightful owner of the material or you are otherwise legally entitled to post the material and to grant YouTube all of the license rights granted herein.” AND THIS IS THE CRUX OF OUR GRIEVANCE!! Blue Labs never submitted the video to Youtube, is therefore not subject to their terms of service, and any user of their copyrighted material on Youtube infringes the Terms of Service of Youtube. 3. The maker of the video is irrelevant to whether or not the broadcast by the CPC on all its official e-channels constitutes infringement. The CPC for all intents and purposes is the broadcaster of the infringing video and is liable for its actions. It behoved upon the CPC Organisation to carry out due diligence before accepting such gifts from its supporters. If CPC produces their agent that produced the video, They will sue him/her too.

I understand people's fear that it maybe a smear campaign but let us look at the facts closer shall and discover why CPC is crying wolf: First Contact with CPC - http://buharistoleouridea.com/art.php?id=5 What is the relevant law? - http://buharistoleouridea.com/art.php?id=6 The Facts - http://buharistoleouridea.com/art.php?id=7 After all these, i think CPC should have done what is right dicussed with Bluelabs when they apprached for discussion and cleared up the issue. Now they are heading to court. what a shame for Gen. Buhari |

[size=15pt]The transformation song is owned by a company called INK Brand Agency. They commissioned and paid Cobhams to write and produced the song. The lara chic sang the lyrics. It is not a Buhari song. Its is part of the company's effort @ driving youth towards change in Nigeria. See the website for the transformation project. The official video is there as well www.transformationng.com[/size] |

Jonathan hasn't failed. Good to know Buhari has found another misdirect to use as a cheap shot. I will vote Jonathan for president. BRF for Governor. Shikena! With regards to the Dbanj interview. Heard it was pre-recorded and much so, about 4 weeks ago when he paid a visit to the president. So lets get over all the abuses and move on to Election day. When you vote make you vote count for Goodluck Jonathan Open you eyes, vote, protect your votes, report via BB, SMS, or the internet - don't fall for any emotional mumbo jumbo. My Vote counts |

Buhari started co-founded ANPP to fuel his presidential ambition, when it became a democratic affair he suddenly left to start CPC and has the likes of Mohammed Abacha (a proud and arrogant son of the worst dictator in history) on his team as a Governorship candidate, a convenient deal? Buhari is seemingly honest, seemingly. The Man's idea's doesn't fit into today's world. besides he will try to force all his opinions through just as he did it on he party level. common to stand down for Ribadu and help mentor him for leadership fafafa , foul. Buhari is goo at one thing, whipping up sentiments. We will still vote for Goodluck and we will cast our votes and report it. My vote counts |

stildude: I feel you ja'are. Ideally JG shuld go to a debate. regardless he has engaged Nigerian's long before Buhari and Ribadu got their acts together going back and forth with their confused merger talks which their individual selfish agendas prevented from ever happening. - Buhari is a my way or the highway fellow. - Ribadu is an emotional elitist strong head ( even the grass roots north don't dig him, hence why he's using Fashola's goodwill unabashedly). - Shekarau, now this is a well spoken mister Kudo's but even track record in Kano get plenty k-leg (as was seen on BBC hardtalk) I vote for Goodluck. I will also hound him till he gets it right with his advisers and as be there to protest once he goes off the plan. My vote counts |

samix: Oh really dumb folk how? That i have an opinion that doesnt follow yours. You are a dafty. Buhari should carry his 'carrier pigeon' ideas and sit down while enjoying the praises of his people. Presidency is not for him. Sorry, but hope that doesn't blow your moronic mickey mouse brain. |
