Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Ruth Kadiri has taken to social media to issue a note of warning to Ghanaian TV stations airing her content without proper authorization.
In a video shared across her social media platforms, Ruth Kadiri expressed her disappointment and frustration regarding this situation and issued a strong warning to those responsible.
“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,” she said.
Ruth Kadiri urged TV stations to uphold ethical standards by purchasing content instead of resorting to unauthorized use.
She pointed out the considerable financial and creative investments that go into creating such content, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and compensating content creators.
“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.
