Company slams Samung with a N65M law suit over copy right infringement

An Abuja-based company, Eagle Eye Production Limited has sued Samsung Electronics West Africa Limited for alleged copyright infringement over a video the technology company used as an advert.

Samsung launched its Galaxy Note 8 last August with a promotional visual clip titled ‘Night Life in Lagos with Galaxy Note 8’.

The company’s ad clip had in it an image of Lekki Ikoyi Link Bridge in Lagos, which was allegedly cut from a video posted to YouTube by Eagle Eye Production Limited in April 2015, with the title: ‘Lekki Ikoyi Link Bridge at Night’.

The alleged original creators of the video say they got no monetary compensation, nor any acknowledgement, for Samsung’s alleged usage of their clip in the ad.

Samsung, however, after being served a notice on the alleged copyright infringement, claims it didn’t create the video, but only outsourced the job to one Cheil Communications Nigeria Limited.

Cheil Communications, in turn, said it employed the services of another media company, Ringier Media Nigeria Limited, to create the ad for Samsung’s use.

APC has derailed and is now playing politics says Gov.Okorocha

Imo State governor and chairman of the All Progressives Congress Governor’s Forum, Rochas Okorocha, has said his party has derailed and now practises “Peoples Democratic Party kind of politics.”

Mr Okorocha, stated in Abuja at the declaration of Adams Oshiomole, former governor of Edo State, to run for office of national chairman of the party.

Mr Okoracha, who was at the event to show his support for the governor and endorse his bid, said he believes in Mr Oshiomhole’s capacity to address some issues in the party.

“Another thing I think Oshiomole will address is that our party has begun to play the same kind of politics like PDP. All of a sudden we have started derailing and playing the PDP kind of politics. This started by some of those people who found themselves in political office especially appointment, who did not win their booths and wards.

He said Mr Oshiomhole should also address the weakness of the party in the South-South and South-East. He said he believed Mr Oshiomhole can help strengthen it in those parts of the country.
