Permit me to kindly shed more light on the Criminal aspect of Copyright in Nigeria. A thread (🧵).
1. Nigeria presently uses The Copyright Act, 2022 as its primary law on copyrights. Hereon after referred to as “CA”.
2. The CA lists works eligible for copyright in S.2(1)(a)-(f)
i didnt go to law school but i don't understand nigeria's laws tbh because this should be a civil matter and not a criminal one. it should not lead to incaceration! i expected financial penalties and fines if he is found guilty, what is the point of putting him in prison?
