IN response to Inside Tsvangirai’s Valentine’s Day tragedy ... as widow Elizabeth breaks silence, PIKIRAYI says: May Morgan Tsvangirai’s soul rest in eternal peace. What a unionist and unifier he was. My heart bleeds every time I see the new crop of opposition leaders. They are nowhere near that statesman.

IN response to Jah Signal, Charambas copyright infringement case rages, JAPHINOS JANGE says: There are copyright laws which must always be observed and respected. There is what is called intellectual property. The copyright laws protect intellectual property. Poems and songs are examples of intellectual property. Jah Signal violated these laws and must suffer the consequences. Those who are criticising the Charambas must school themselves on the said laws before they expose their ignorance on this platform.

MASIMBA MUKONZI says: Tough lesson learnt. Stop being lazy and work hard for your own things.

DJXMAN CREATIVERECORDS says: There is what we call cover in music. Jah Signal should have just done a cover of his song, instead of twisting someone’s lyrics to suit his desires.

CDE MARTIN VALENTINE CHINEMBIRI says: I thought this couple also quotes Bible verses, so how then does it claim that Jah Signal infringed copyright laws, unless the couple owns the Bible.

INNO MAWIRE says: We have a lot of work to do in educating society about the role of intellectual property in socioeconomic development. It is sad to see that we still have a big segment of the population that is ignorant of intellectual property and copyright laws, especially those in the arts industry. We have national, regional and international systems put in place to protect and promote intellectual property, including the copyright regime, which has been topical for the past few days. Copyright is the anchor upon which the creative industry derives its livelihoods and, as such, it requires greater awareness and education among society and content creators.
