A commercial court has awarded Producer and tech analyst Kwabena Offei-Kwadey Nkrumah popularly known as Kobby Spiky $250,000 after years of legal dispute with the Confederation of African Football.
Kobby Spiky sued the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for alleged copyright infringement in 2019.
In court documents sighted by MyJoyOnline.com, Spiky contended that the football governing board used his musical beat, ‘Okomfo Anokye’, for promotional materials for the 2018 CAF awards without his consent.
Lawyers for Spiky indicated that CAF plagiarised, appropriated and infringed on the producer’s copyright when they failed to acknowledge him as the owner.
It's bad enough that you didn't ask for permission or pay for the beat you used. I know the promo was done by an agency and that agency got paid. I didn't! And that's what pisses me off. Someone's making money off my hard work, for you @CAF_Online .
