Assignment 6
(Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow)
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) MANAGEMENT OF THE SONG “MBUBE”
Solomon Linda
Born: 1909 Ladysmith, South Africa
Died: 8 October 1962 Johannesburg, South Africa
1939: Solomon Linda records “Mbube” and assigns copyright to Gallotone
1949: The Weavers record “Wimoweh”
1961: The Tokens record “The lion sleeps tonight”. The song racks up three
centuries of radio play in the US alone.
1994: The song used in the musical version of Disney’s “The Lion King”.
2000: Rolling Stone magazine estimates that “Mbube” and its progeny have
earned at least 20 m USD in composer royalties over the decades.
In 1962, Solomon Linda passed away a pauper, his family too poor to afford a
headstone for his grave. The British Copyright Act of 1911 (the Imperial Copyright Act)
was incorporated into the South African Copyright Act of 1916 which was in force in
1939. The Imperial Copyright provided a so-called reversionary interest whereby
copyright reverted to the deceased estate 25 years after the death of the author.
In 1987, the copyright in “Mbube” reverted to the executor of Solomon Linda’s estate
who could then enforce the rights in South Africa and in any country that was formerly
part of the British Empire, including the UK. But Abilene Music (claimed owner of “The
lion sleeps tonight”) was located in the US and could not be sued in South Africa, or
could they? Spoor and Fisher opted to sue the most prominent and high-profile
licensee of the song against which it was possible to secure jurisdiction before a South
African court, i.e. Walt Disney Enterprises Inc. This could be done by "attaching" some
200 registered trademarks owned by Walt Disney Enterprises in South Africa, in effect
holding the Disney trademarks hostage to provide security for the enforcement of
payment of a debt. After much legal wrangling, discussions took place and a settlement
agreement was reached which included the following:

Assignment 6
• Abilene undertook to pay the executor an undisclosed amount for compensation of
past uses and to pay royalties going forward.
• It was acknowledged that Solomon Linda would henceforth be designated as co-
composer of “The lion sleeps tonight”.
And finally, in 2006 a trust fund for the heirs of Solomon Linda was set up.
Question 1
In your view, why did Spoor and Fisher institute action against Disney and certain other
licensees in the Solomon Linda case? (3)
Question 2
What lesson does this teach heirs of other authors who never benefited from the
copyrighted works of their forebears? (4)
Question 3
In a case of a written material, what would have been the general guidelines in respect
of copyright infringement. (5)
