COSBOTS blames artists’ frustration on lack of education

This comes after recent outcries in the creative industry over a leaked document that revealed the amount of money some members and employees of COSBOTS earn. BOMU recently released a statement expressing concern over the failure of COSBOTS to give it an ear concerning the royalties issue.

In a letter written to BOMU secretary general Winfred Rasina, COSBOSTS documentation and distribution manager Onalenna Gaontebale indicated that their experience has shown that there is lack of understanding on the part of artists about the entire distribution process. While Rasina has said the cancellation of the scheduled meeting with COSBOTS through an email is a further refusal of the organisation to account for the millions of money it collects as royalties on behalf of members, Gaontebale said the reason they requested to defer the meeting to a later date was to bring refined information at hand.
