This piece of news may excite some Nigerian artiste who are members of
the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) as the body is set to pay
royalties to them for the use of their works by some organisations.
Information made available to Nigeriafilms.com revealed that a meeting
between COSON and its members will take place on Tuesday, December 16,
2014 at the Oranmiyan Hall, Lagos Airport Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, after
which the distribution of the royalties will begin.
This would be the fourth time in a row that COSON will be paying some
amount of money to the artistes since its inception in 2010.
COSON has been battling with some organisations who use intellectual
materials of its members without paying royalties. Some of the
organisations have been dragged to court on the issue.
