These days, our new artistes sample songs from our old artistes without seeking permission, and when they get caught, they would say, ‘i just took inspiration from the song’
Hilife legend, Nana Kwame Ampadu has disclosed in an interview with JOY News that, new artistes should stop the act of just sampling their old songs and using them without permission all in the name of taking inspiration.
“When you are an artiste and you sample my songs without my knowledge, i’m right to take you to court for using my works without seeking permission.”
He continued,
“It’s not easy to write songs, now you would just sample the songs and be making money off our sweats, it’s not cool at all. Young Artistes should seek permission from us, the Old Musicians before using our works”
