Paul I.K Dairo has sued Etisalat and Optima Media Group who
stages the yearly Nigerian Idol show for the
unauthorized usage of his song, Mosorire. He accused them of reproducing his song on the show and airing
it on air as well as their you tube channel without his consent.
According to a source, Paul Play wouldn't have sued them if
only the companies agreed to his terms when his lawyers wrote them, but
they turned deaf ears to him and his lawyers instead, which left them
with
no choice than to sue them.
Paul Play has sued them for N200m for special and general damages for
the flagrant and
unlawful exploitation of his copyrighted work. The case is expected to
be heard in court soon. Check out some of the court documents after the
cut.
