RESOLVING MUSIC ROYALTY DISPUTES

Royalty disputes are becoming an increasingly visible problem in Nigeria’s music industry.

Disagreements over ownership, entitlement, collection, distribution and payment can arise at any stage of an artist’s career.

When royalties don’t add up, Court, Police, EFCC, VDM or Hembelembe are not the only options.

Artists, songwriters, composers, producers, publishers, labels, music businesses and rights owners need to know what other routes are available, and whether they may offer a more effective way of resolving the dispute.

Join us for a webinar titled ‘RESOLVING MUSIC ROYALTY DISPUTES: What to do when royalties don’t add up’

A practical conversation on negotiation, mediation and arbitration, and what rights owners need to know before choosing how to resolve a royalty dispute.
