There is a discussion going on TVC about copy right laws and infringement in Nigeria. Nairaland was mentioned though Linda Ikeji Blog is the main topic of discussion.

Really?! But let's not twist it. Nairaland has some element of originality compared to Linda Ikeji.

Missed it. What points were raised? What was Nairaland Forum accused of during the discussion? And how would you advice us to respond?

Do you ever listen to "advice/suggestions"?? What's the point of giving you one??

Thank you.

Referencing is practice on Nairaland. So which Nigeria copy right laws and infringement are we talking about here

Are you assuming she listened? She probably stumbled on the programme while listening in for the latest APC propaganda and only vaguely heard Nairaland getting mentioned right before She moved on to Sahara Reports.

Firefire:

Please can you summarize what was said during the discussion?

I think the use of "Source or idonblvit" is helping Nairaland alot but some yeye source cause for questioning

just as d way you too are looking for PDP propanganda on AIT, or that facebook page that called themselves "hope for nigeria" or you again to that blog called "pointblanknews"

Yes, we listen to all suggestions. There are literally dozens of things we've done in the past few months that were suggested by our users. Of course, if the purpose of your suggestion is just to promote a party or candidate then you shouldn't be surprised if we politely reject it. Tnx.

but at least I was here

.hahahaha The basic discussion was linda ikeji's copyright/plagiarism issues few weeks back, and google's reaction to that. She was also on air, on the phone to answer questions regarding copying news from other bloggers, taking pictures from pple's instagram, etc. Two men from NCC were there also to shed more light on copyright, bla bla bla . Nairaland was only referred to when they were mentioning top sites i guess

Why won't Nairaland be mentioned when this is moved to the frontpage; TVC was said to be an APC affiliates while Nairaland is said to be neutral, WTF!

it was not Linda Ikeji that called in. It was another blogger.

Is that so? You didn't say this when you actually opened a section for muslims and left all other religious faith high and dry did you?.

Later you'll come with your "tolerance speech". All in all, I hail thee.

seun FFK is live on AIT now, you might want to watch that as well if you are interested lol

top sites as in how?
Anyway, we are yet to know why Nairaland was actually hacked. I hope it was not all about the copyright and infringement ish.

We know how you operate mr man. Stop trying to feign fairness. Your proclivity is so overt everyone who has been on this site in the last couple of months can smell it.

The most annoying lately is how topics are twisted to reflect the agenda of whoever it is that has the powers to edit the titles on threads that hit the fp. Someone called on the Speaker to step down yesterday, siting this reason and that, before we knew it, the thread was on the fp. A thread with reliable source where an equally influential Nigerian, and a professor of law, said the Speaker has no reason to step down if he doesn't want to was created by NgeneUkwenu. Alas, that thread is still languishing in the dingy politics board!!

As you go about administering this site, be mindful of the future. As it stands, it is pregnant with uncertainties. The chicken might come home to roost when the opposition takes over. Just an advice. Be circumspect Seun.

COPY RIGHT LAW... A PAINTING ON THE WALL

Seun once accused APC of hacking the site. As if hacking a site like NL takes just hours. Anyway, I believe it was from his webhost, and not a direct hack.

Mr man will you shut up!
Are you threatening Seun or what?.
There is nothing wrong in being an opposition but you must do it with dignity.
A situation where you guys feels happy over a situation detrimental to the life of an average Nigerian just to discredit the ruling party is unacceptable.
Don''t drag Seun into it.

Good response and it's quite visible to the blind and audible to the deaf
