RLG sued for illegal use of song as a default ringing tone, see copies of the writ

According to sources, Ghanaian Technology Company, RLG has been served with a writ to appear in court for the illegal use of ‘Wedding Song’ by Apaaste, as the default ringing tone on their android phones. According to copies of the writ which I received,dated December 27, 2013, NMJ Ghana, the management for the artist in question is demanding GhC 250,000 from RLG for copyright infringement. They stated the wide distribution of RLG phones across Africa as the extent of damage to Apaaste’s creative works.

The source also alleges that officials from RLG have downplayed the issue and tried to settle the case out of court but NMJ refused since the terms were unfavorable to them. According to the source, there are voice recordings with officials from RLG suggesting that NMJ would lose the case for political reasons. Hmm, stay tuned for more on this growing story .

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers, Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important. Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages. Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

THE NAKED MARRIAGE

Welcome dear Readers, You must be thinking that I want to talk about sex today. But hey, we will be talking about that plus a lot more. True intimacy requires what happens in the bedroom plus a lot more. In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve, the first couple. They lived in an ideal world; no debt, no no crazy in laws, no baggage, no stress, no fighting and and also, NO CLOTHING! (Gen 2:25) When God reveals unto us a naked marriage, He is revealing to us something more than just walking around the house with no clothes on or just sex. He is revealing the importance of TRANSPARENCY, VULNERABILITY,ACCEPTANCE and INTIMACY at every level of the relationship. I am suggesting we become more intentional about working on our relationships this way. Love is honest. Love is trust. You open yourself to temptations when you decide not to live in a naked marriage. These temptations have led many down the path of doom. My husband used to believe trust in a marriage is a sacrifice.
