Enough of harassment, CAPDAN tells NCC, Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Dealers in computer and its allied materials
| including software, acting under the aegis of
| Computer and Allied Products Dealers
| Association of Nigeria (CAPDAN), have chided
| worldâs software
|
| manufacturing giant, Microsoft and the body
| responsible for waging war against the theft
| of intellectual properties, the Nigerian
| Copyrights Commission (NCC), over their
| harassment of innocent Nigerians under the
| guise of prosecuting war against piracy in
| the country.
|
| John Oboro who is the general secretary of
| the body said instead of harrassing the
| âsmall ratsâ on the streets who hawk the
| supposedly pirated items, Microsoft and NCC
| should channel their energies towards
| locating the cartels that were behind the
| illicit trade in the country.
|
| Oboro who told the Nigerian Compass that the
| two organisations merely paid lip service to
| the war aginst piracy, lamenting that all the
| recommendations made in respect of the way
| forward to Microsoft were gathering dust in
| the archives of the firm.
