ABSTRACT Copyright laws, policies and enforcement mechanisms would be considered weak if infringers reign free. The vulnerability of internet copyrighted materials is dire in the internet age mainly because of the ease of engaging in illegal copying, sharing, downloading, and streaming of copyright materials. Considering this concern, it is reassuring to note that the Nigerian Copyright Commission is awake to the prospects and challenges within this internet access subsector as it recently forwarded a Copyright bill to the legislative chambers. The Bill aims to modernise Nigeria's copyright law by paying more attention to the internet, an area of strategic importance to the Nigerian economy. This paper analyses the Bill and also seeks to explore the potential paths that may be taken by Nigeria in the application of its modernised copyright law.

互联网逆境下的版权:为尼日利亚抢占先机

摘要 如果侵权者逍遥法外,版权法、政策和执法机制将被认为是薄弱的。互联网版权材料的脆弱性在互联网时代很可怕,主要是因为容易进行版权材料的非法复制、共享、下载和流式传输。考虑到这一担忧,令人欣慰的是,尼日利亚版权委员会最近向立法机构提交了一项版权法案,因此它对互联网接入子行业的前景和挑战保持清醒。该法案旨在通过更加关注互联网这一对尼日利亚经济具有战略重要性的领域来使尼日利亚的版权法现代化。本文分析了该法案,并试图探索尼日利亚在适用其现代化版权法方面可能采取的潜在途径。
