Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Ruth Kadiri has given a stern warning to Ghanaian TV stations which air her movies without proper authorization.
She gave this warning via all her social media accounts on Friday.
In a video shared across her social media platforms, Ruth Kadiri expressed her disappointment and frustration regarding this situation.
“I love the country as a whole, but I am very disappointed that a major TV station in Ghana would go on my platform, rip my contents apart, show it on TV like they have the license to do that,” the actress said.
She emphasized the significance of respecting intellectual property rights and highlighted the negative impact of unauthorized broadcasting, not only on her but also on the individuals involved in the content creation process.
“It is not even just one, not two, not three. I don’t want to put a watermark on my contents because I feel like it’s going to make it look taggy.
“This is the first warning and it is going to be the last one because the next time, you’re going to hear from my lawyers.
“I beg you, let’s not start dragging ourselves through the mud. I expect so much from you because you know how expensive it is to create contents, and instead of you to buy this content, you would rather rip it and show it on national TV,” the actress said.
