Is there anything like owner of news content? DMCA: Why major news outlets report themselves for copyright infringement ?
These are questions that comes to mind when I see blogs like legit,ng, premiumtimes, dailypost,ng amidst so many other take to DMCA copyright compliant to report stolen new article. We have seen a lot of news company reporting themselves and I ask Why major news outlets report themselves for copyright infringement .
The funny thing here is that this same news or article by these companies arent owned by anyone as far as Nigeria is concerned. We are receiving whole lots of copy and paste and its the norm in Nigeria.
I see premiumtimes, legit,ng, etc copy posts from other news source without crediting the original owner but they will be so fast to report another that referenced a part of a post they don’t even have the right to ownership. This is laughable.
