Copyright infringement: Lagos Oriental Hotel in trouble as COSON tells musicians, stakeholders to boycott them

Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), the nation’s sole government approved copyright collective management organization for musical works and sound recordings, has asked all musicians, music industry operatives and stakeholders in the creative sector to begin an immediate boycott of Lagos Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island. The decision to begin the boycott was unanimously ratified by the hundreds of COSON members who thronged Lagos Airport Hotel, Ikeja recently for the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting of COSON at which a royalty distribution of N90 million to musicians in the country was approved.
