The
COSON 2015 Public Lecture was quite intellectual and very interesting. There
was a lot to learn and take home. Why don’t
those who are concerned with these issues attend events like this? A lot of information
that would benefit the average music artiste and entertainer were communicated
at this event.
Anyways,
the Vice President of Nigeria honored the COSON I.V by sending down a
representative, the DG of NCC, Mr Akpan. He read out a very intelligent speech
by the Vice president.
An
elder statesman, Prince Ajibola was honored and appreciated by COSON. Prince
Ajibola was the special guest of honor for the event.
Some
politicians were in attendance and they promised to support COSON all the way, on
the fight against piracy.
Desmond
Eliot no show o. He was supposed to be a member of the panel.

And thats it for Day Two. Will be back with Day Three. I'll leave you with some wise words by Lagbaja at the Public lecture:
A copyright is not a right unless it is enforced. And when you sue for infringement, let your opposition know that its not a personal thing but strictly business.
Don't go anywhere o.
