2SHOTZ BATTLE NOKIA OVER COPYRIGHTS ISSUE

NOKIA has been accused by a Nigerian musician, 2shortz of copyrights infringement. The musician, who is hails from the  Eastern Parts of Nigeria has also dragged the mobile phone company before a Lagos High Court over what he described as a violation of his intellectual property by the mobile phone company.
In his statement of claims, 2shortz said  NOKIA used three of his songs as default ring tones for NOKIA X3 without getting approval and sealing a contract with him. He considered it as illegal.
He is therefore seeking damages in form of monetary compensation to the tune of N5 billion.
While Brendan Rilley, lawyer for NOKIA is saying that they actually got the deal through Orchard, a record label last year, 2shortz said nothing can be farther from the truth.2shortz reiterated that only Umunnamu his record label has the legal rights to enter into any contract with company or individual regarding his songs.
Gistmaster gathered that some people are not in happy that Nokia can do such a thing to a musician. A furious musician told gistmaster.com on phone that it is quite absurd and unthinkable that Nokia can commit such a blunder.
Sources however told gistmaster.com that it may not the fault of top officials of Nokia. They said they were sure some people who were supposed to broker the deal might have played a fast one by going through the back door.
James Rutherfoord, Nokia’s General Manager, West Africa could not be reached for comments on the issue. 

In a phone chat with Gistmaster.com , Mr. Osagie the Communications Manager of Nokia said " The case is already in court and we can't comment on it. But we appreciate the fact that you call to balance the story"

Nigerian musicians in the past have been at loggerheads with telecoms company over the way that their intellectual property have been used without gains. It took some efforts and campaigns by leading artists before the case was resolved in the past.

Mistakes To Avoid When Wearing False Lashes

False eyelashes are an easy way to accentuate your features and add some drama to your look. Whether going out to an event or rocking them for a pretty everyday look, false lashes can make your eyes pop beautifully if worn the right way. Several mistakes from obvious false lashes to incorrect application can make a potentially stunning look go terribly wrong. Here are some common mistakes to avoid when rocking false eyelashes.

-Choosing lashes that look unnatural

Unless you’re hitting the stage for a sold-out concert like Beyonce or rocking a Halloween costume, chances are you don’t need the longest, fullest set of fake eyelashes. Choose lashes that will add excitement to your eyes with a natural look.

-Applying lashes the wrong way.

Most mistakes with false eyelashes happen in the application. Be sure to follow these steps to avoid them.
1. Take the lashes out and do a test run of how you want lashes to lie on upper lid close to your own. Make sure you trace from inner to outer lid for placement.
2. After test run, make sure they completely fit, may need to cut based on eye shape.
3. Apply eyeliner on upper lid where lashes will lay upon.
4. Take the adhesive and gently squeeze small amount to run over the baseline of the lashes.
5. Blow on lashes for about 30 seconds.
6. Apply lashes on upper lid as close as possible.

-Falling lashes.

What’s more embarrassing than false lashes gradually slipping off of the eye? Be sure to blow on lashes after applying the glue so that they stay put.

-Choosing the wrong color eyelash glue.

Many women make the mistake of using eyelash glue that doesn’t blend with their lashes. Be sure to choose the right color for your lashes. If you have brown lashes, don’t use black glue. Also, white glue is great to blend with a variety of shades.

-Applying a lot of mascara over the lashes.
Clumpy, super-thick lashes practically scream fake. Since false lashes are typically full, be sure to go easy on the mascara afterwards.
