Nkem Itanyi, Lecturer, Department of Commercial and Corporate Law, University of Nigeria, Nsukka and Chinelo Ngwu,  Associate, Olaniwun Ajayi LP in their article, “Expanding the Frontiers of Nigerian Copyright Laws in the Age of Social Media, note that though social media promotes intellectual creativity, and is a minefield of ideas which can be deployed into important works, works in the digital formal may or may not be protected under the Nigerian Copyright Act. As the fixation concept has become obsolete with technology, it becomes difficult to sustain as a pre-requisite for the qualification of a creation as a copyright work since intangibility and a transitory nature are common features of works placed on the internet. To cope with new infringement mechanisms in the digital era and conflict of law problems, it may be necessary to fix certain duties, such as duty to give notice of illegal activities, and duty of identification of infringers, on online service providers just like other countries have done.
