"Defe Defe": Team Eternity Ghana faces copyright infringement allegations 

If the song had not been a hit, would anyone be out there alleging copyright infringements. It is sad how we are quick to rundown people's success. Very appalling

IT'S HIGH TIME PEOPLE DO ENOUGH RESEARCH ON A SUBJECT MATTER BEFORE YOU OUT YOUR OPINION

Which permission. It won't go anywhere. There's no element of melodic similarities

This man isn't serious... this is gospel oo not circular..are we really Christians eeei fighting over copyright

This why Nigeria is always ahead of Ghana in terms of music, because we are united😂

The lawyer is a joke.

The lady lawyer was ignorant she was talking bias “An interpolation is when you use any portion of lyrics or melody from a copyrighted song that you did not write within an existing composition, original composition, or public domain song.”

Is this a joke....eeii!!! How is this an issue. SMH

Those saying this is not a copyright infringement should go and do a PROPER research on the cases between the following parties on this same copyright issue 1. The case between Sam Smith and Tom Petty 2. George Harrison and the Chiffons 3. Sisqo and Ricky Martin Asrobo)kyer3 is an Akan word Fa wo nsa B3 wo me ni too are normal words the Akans use so why then did Stonebwoy acknowledged Dr Paa Bobo in his song 'Soobolo' ???This is what we are talking about. Team eternity are Christians and they should know better .People should stop being emotional about this and let the team do the needful na Ghanafo) mo p3 saa dodo

It is clear our cute lawyer may nit have an idea about music and it's copyright regulations, aahh well....

is not about words or language, it’s about creativity or crafts, words and language doesn’t belong to anyone and it’s for everyone, but when someone puts words together to make it creative, that creativity becomes the person property, let me ask? how many people can join one word after the other to create something different? everyone can speak words but not everyone can use it to compose songs, so that makes it different, it will be helpful for those who doesn’t understand music or doesn’t know the difference between words and composing should stop comments, because people are exposing ignorance side, because if the group really understands the rules and regulations in music, they could have consulted the man before,

He should clear off

Some people don’t understand copyright laws: first language can never be a copyright due originality of the source he’s not the inventor of the language phrases spoken in languages a subjective to copyright… in a traditional song beat n pattern are considered copyright in this case there no beat or pattern that match in the song

Tie ne brofo bi. 😅😢

This is sheer covetousness and this can only happen when SELF gets a greater hold of you to think you can own everything to yourself. Really! Putting words together to make a meaning has now become a property you own and you think no one is expected to use those words? Big bro, I'm highly disappointed in your envy to seeing the young rise. I don't know but I believe you shd be a Christian and if that is it, then your salvation is questionable. You need to repent and rather apologise to those young ones for bringing your self acclaimed dead lyrics back to live. Keep the good work Team Eternity, it's your time to shine and nothing will stop you. ✋

These are the things that are killing Ghana gospel music industry, because most people don’t take time to learn how to create or compose their own songs or music, they mostly use old songs of others and add some words to it or remix, when you talk about it, people will start insulting you saying Akan language is the same, until people start to learn how to compose songs and learn how to create their own rhythms this is not going to stop because many people don’t know the difference between a musician or composer and singer, if you listen to what the lawyer was saying, you will realise that she doesn’t know anything about music, because they can’t take m’ahyia Ewura aah and defe defe for you to say it has nothing to do with the defe defe song because that’s is the formation or the chorus of the song, is time for the gospel singer to learn how to create and compose their own songs

Kwasiaaaaaato

Once you declare something is Gospel, you are also declaring that the words, or the ideas contained in the words are drawn from the Bible, and therefore not original; and so no one needs your permission to use the same. This is not circular music.

This is total stupidity. Look for instance, the song "Aseda", Nacee and King Paluta. Does Aseda originate from Nacee.

Does Kwame Micky own the bible

Report and do what needful? How are these songs similar? Please please

I think our beautiful lawyer is wrong this time.this is full copyright issue

Why should Christians be contending with copyright. Is it not the same bible or God. Fake people. Even if is a stolen song it was sang by team eternity very well. Congratulations to them

Lawyer please compare what you are saying with copyright litigations and how they went. I don't think you are right.

Is "defe defe" a twi word ?

I get what the man is saying. When you look at copyright issues which have happened in the US, he could be right. Anyways...I dont think Team Eternity intentionally copied the song. It was just a coincidence. Whilst writing lyrics or composing a beat, You can subconsciously be influenced by a song you've heard before (especially in your childhood) without actually realising it. This is not an excuse for copyright infringement though because it cannot be proven. Some years ago a young artist released a song and it was obvious he had copied half of the chorus from my dad's hit song from the 90s. My dad did call him out but didn't further pursue it. Let's see how this thing will go ❤
