In celebration of World Music Day here is the podcast version of the social media call-out made by Timi Dakolo against the All Progressive Congress (APC) over the use of his song "Great Nation" and other artists' songs at the #APCPresidentialPrimaries without their permission, 

In this episode, I highlight what Disc Jockeys (DJs), event organisers and venue owners need to know about copyright, how it affects the music industry, licensing the music industry, if you are in the business of music, inherited rights, contributory infringement, copyright law applies to you and what to do in the event of a dispute what a copyright owner is expected to do by opting to litigate or explore an alternative dispute resolution mechanism (ADR).

What are your views about this development? 

Does #TimiDakolo has a case against APC or the DJ or the event centre?

Does it meet the fair dealing principle requirement?
