dc.description.abstractCopyright law is aimed at protecting intellectual product of any individual. It is needful that such works must be tangible in its form and not otherwise. In Nigeria, several laws exist that are meant to protect works recognised to be capable of enjoying copyrights. The Copy Right Act, Cap. 68, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990 as amended by the Copyright Amendment Decree No. 98 of 1992 and the Copyright (Amendment) Decree 1999, is the primary source for protection of Copy Righted works in the country. However, for an average Nigerian, it is no longer news that the nation has well articulated laws, but very weak enforcement of such laws. This, no doubt is causing untold hardship to the citizenry of this great country, particularly as it relates to the entertainment industry. This paper examines the Copy Right Act in Nigeria as it relates to musical works. It examines musical works that are eligible for copy rights, basis for registration and challenges to the enforcement of the law. It concludes with recommendations on how rights of individuals can be protected.en_US
