The recent ban of some artistes in the music industry by the Nigerian broadcasting corperation NBC, is about to take a different dimension as the the artistes are threatening to fight back.
Banned artists include 2face Idibia, D'banj, Omawumi, Onyeka Onwenu, Iyanya, Olamide, Dr Sid, Sammie Okposo, Banky W, Wizkid and other up coming acts.
The artistes are threatening to massively boycott upcoming events to be organised by members of
Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON), Independent Broadcasting Association of Nigeria (IBAN) and the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) if the situation is not resolved by the NBC.
The copy rights society of Nigeria (Coson) to which these artistes belong is only asking for copyrigts Royalties.
They don't want this hard working people to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Too sad.
ReplyDeleteThis can not happen in a civilized environment. How do you want these artist to survive if the users of their work are not ready to pay. Just imagine
ReplyDeleteIt is their right to demand for royalties. They are well justified.
ReplyDeleteThe media houses are making enough money, let them pay. Its not fair at all. Crying. Lol
ReplyDeleteLets see who loses if this battle continues.
ReplyDeleteNot cool at all.
ReplyDeleteThe stations are making money because people listen to their stations because of music of these artistes and the stations get adverts. So let them pay royalties
ReplyDeleteNothing is too small. Lol
