59 h. ago A year on, CAF yet to pay Kobby Spiky in his fight for Creative Justice

Accra, Ghana – It's been more than a year since Ghanaian music producer Kobby Spiky Nkrumah secured a landmark victory against the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in the High Court in Accra. On July 17, 2024, the court ruled that CAF had illegally used Spiky's original track, "Okomfo Anokye," in promotional materials for the 2018 CAF Awards without his permission, a clear violation of his copyright. The court awarded Spiky $250,000 in damages, a judgment firmly rooted in Ghana's Copyright Act, 2005 (Act 690), which stipulates financial penalties for the unauthorised use of copyrighted material. This wasn't just a win for Spiky; it was a beacon of hope for creative professionals across Africa who frequently face the uphill battle of protecting their intellectual property.
