Issues of copyright violation made headlines in the past few weeks after gospel musician Pastor Charles Charamba filed a complaint with YouTube leading to the removal of a music video by Jah Signal titled “Sweetie” which had garnered millions of views. Jah Signal released the song without obtaining consent from Pastor Charamba, who claimed that the song was a remix of his gospel song, “Kana Vanhu Vangu.” Pastor Charamba alleged that the lyrics in Jah Signal’s song were blasphemous and expressed his dissatisfaction with the unauthorised use of his music.
