Showbiz and sports personalities urged to protect their intellectual property
Listowell Yesu Bukarson, CEO of LYB Sports & Entertainment, explained the importance of intellectual property protection at an event in Columbus, Ohio, to launch LYB Sports & Entertainment. He stated that creators automatically own the rights to their original works and should understand the legal protections available to them. He said, "Any and every creativity becomes your intellectual property. And you have rights over your creativity. And the law gives you that power to feed off your creativity. You have intellectual property rights over your music for as long as they live on this planet. And 70 years after they die."
Bukarson urged showbiz and sports personalities to take deliberate steps to protect their intellectual property rights and secure their financial futures. He noted that many entertainers and athletes fail to fully appreciate the long-term value of their intellectual property, resulting in financial hardship after their active careers have ended. He used the late Ghanaian highlife legend Daddy Lumba as an example, stressing that unauthorised use of an artist's work constitutes a violation of intellectual property rights.
