Guy Goma claims he received no payment for the 2006 interview on the BBC despite it being viewed millions of times in the years since.Goma had arrived for a job interview with the corporation’s IT department when he was ushered into the BBC news studio and quizzed about a legal battle between Apple computers and the Apple Corps record company.
But the 54-year-old computer technician has claimed that he has received no payment for the 2006 interview on BBC News 24, despite it being viewed millions of times over the past 17 years.that he should be entitled to some of the royalties because the BBC has profited from the clip.‘That clip made them richer’
A producer who was sent to collect Kewney was sent to the wrong reception and asked a receptionist if she had seen him.Goma only heard his first name and thought the producer was taking him for his job interview.He was then led into the studio, offered make-up, fitted with a microphone and put in front of a camera.
He famously tried to bluff his way through by giving off-the-cuff answers about how the case could lead to more people downloading music online.
