These days, claiming “ownership” of something you’ve made just isn’t good enough anymore. In cultural settings and industrial sectors alike, the notion of intellectual property is now key.
Fun fact
Do you remember Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ from Michael Jackson’s album Thriller? Remember at the end when Jackson’s voice endlessly repeats “ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa”...? These lyrics are strangely reminiscent of Soul Makossa, a track recorded in 1972 by Manu Dibango and imported by producers from across the Atlantic. In 1986, Jackson was forced to pay Manu Dibango a million francs in damages following a settlement agreement.
