The Nigerian music world is going to face a big scandal! Adekunle Gold
decided to make pleasure to his army of fans, by releasing his debut
album a few days earlier than it was scheduled. It was released on 25th
of July instead of 28th. The playlist of the album included 16 tracks,
which costed 99 cents per each. It was exclusively available for sale on
iTunes.Unfortunately, barely 24 hours after the release, certain number of
music blogs have uploaded all the songs from the album on their sites
for free downloading. These actions had some negative influence on
Adekunle Gold and his entire team.
His fan with a nickname @tunedpraise tweeted that the music blogs took
off the entire album and uploaded it for free access and advised
Adekunle to take some legal actions against it. This tweet was quoted by
Adekunle himself with a respond saying: “We on it. Thanks for your
concern.”Let’s hope that this
story will end well,
as Adekunle is not the first artist who falls a victim of “pirates’”
actions on the internet. Every artist of an international level faces
these issues and from year to year they try improve measures against the
piracy in the media world.
