By Freeborn Abraye<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ijaw Publishers’ Forum (IPF) has called on musicians from the Ijaw ethnic group to properly acknowledge and credit the original creators of songs they remix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement released on Monday, the IPF emphasised the importance of intellectual property rights and the need for artists to respect the work of their peers and mentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We admonished our talented Ijaw musicians to ensure that they properly acknowledge and credit the original creators of songs they remix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement reads. “This is not only a matter of intellectual property rights, but also a show of respect for the creative work of their mentors and others.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IPF emphasised that remixing songs without proper credit has become a common practice in the music industry, but stressing that this does not make it acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We understand that remixing songs is a creative way to pay tribute to the original artists, but it is important to do so in a way that respect will be accorded their mentors to avoid plagiarism and copyright which may lead to litigations” the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IPF called on Ijaw musicians to lead by example and promote a culture of respect and acknowledgement in the music industry for their mentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is the way they can inspire a new generation of artists to prioritize intellectual property rights and creative integrity”, he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IPF’s call comes as the music industry continues to grapple with issues of copyright infringement and intellectual property theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the forum’s statement has been welcomed by many in the music industry, who see it as a step in the right direction towards promoting a culture of respect and acknowledgement among artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
