Rapper Sarkodie and other top Ghanaian musicians have been victims of bloggers uploading their full albums online for free downloads hours after its release.

This kind of piracy has been happening for long and from the looks, it is not ending soon so Sarkodie has devised a plan to prevent his yet-to-be-released album, Highest from being a sufferer. Obidi during an album listening session on Friday, August 18 in Accra told the press that he has plans of meeting music bloggers before the album is released on September 8 this year.

Replying blogger and OAP Zionfelix who quizzed his stratagem to prevent free downloads of the ‘Highest’ album, Sarkodie disclosed that he will not be harsh on bloggers because he believes most of them have been supportive so he will have a meeting with them to brainstorm on how best they can support the album when released instead of uploading all tracks for free.

“We are not going to be harsh so what we intend doing is to start pushing the idea that it is okay for these sites to put up the music but not to upload the audio itself. You put up the link to get the music because that is what is being done out there. If you go and see Jay Z’s album on any website, you will see a link leading to the album on tidal so hopefully that is what we are aimed at achieving.

It is not too easy in this modern world but Jay So and myself have plans for that. We will have another meeting aside today’s with the bloggers and look at how we will work hand in hand so that we don’t lose.” he answered Zionfelix.

Actor Majid Michel has advocated the need to re-look at the marriage registration system in Ghana, as he registered his displeasure with how things are currently done in that space.

Speaking at a press conference for the movie, ‘Adam The Eve’, which is about marriage, Majid pointed out that the Registrar General’s Department, the state authority which handles marriage registration, is not doing well enough to protect marriage as an institution.

According to him, this is because married couples are not being challenged to understand marriage before they sign up for it.

He has alleged that couples are allowed to sign certificates without making them go through a form of training system, as he insisted that would better prepare them to marry, instead of just walking into the Registrar General’s Department to sign.

“If I want to drive in this country, I will have to go through a test. They will test me and I have to pass the test. I have to memorise road signs. Then the state will now tell me that okay they are satisfied with my qualification, now we believe you can drive. You have convinced us by passing the test. Now get your certificate and get your licence.”

“But if I walk into Registrar General’s Department right now with actress Ingrid Alabi, they will ask me if I am sure we are not related? Then I say yes. They would say ok sit down and sign here,” he said.

Majid added that marriage vows are meant to be kept till the death of one partner, and that shouldn’t be taken for granted. “Couples must go through a series of training to acquire knowledge about marriage before they are allowed to sign up for it,” he reiterated.

He revealed that most of his colleagues have tried “to stop a job coming to me but I just look over it because kids behave like that”.
