Anyways I think they only want some settlement from alausa. Piracy is a worldwide virus! Abi u ve not seen game of thrones season 6 episodes 2 to 4? How u take get am? U just b planning haphazardly and keep falling hand for Africa. Is piracy a lagos thing? How many ppl outside lagos can recognise u guys? Y can't u let d new administration come in and u unanimously present ur case to d right authority. Always rushing! Soaked bread like u

  6. Good of them. But they should do more than walking, they should put infrastructure in place to stop piracy.

  17. they should take their march to alaba i dare them to.
    its easy to come online and become a critic but 90% of Nigerians cant afford going to the cinema should that stop them from seeing the latest and best movies, the answer is No we are all part takers in piracy all of us from watching a tv series from an unauthorized websites to downloading movies i remember a few days ago Game of thrones was leaked i can bet you 90% of everyone coming here to say shit downloaded it, the truth is if really want o curb piracy they should create better infrastructure and make movies on the cinema cheaper else this trend will continue

  19. Piracy is a worldwide problem.Nollywood cannot fight it alone. We the consumers should simply just refuse to buy fake films. Nollywood can have designated shops around , or sell online. the artists must be involved in advocacy, adverts must continue to be placed on TV radio and the Internet, If we the consumers simply refuse to buy pirated copies all these rouges will soon be out of business .

  22. Piracy is multi-faceted and yes,it should and would be fought.However,let us ask our Nollywood practitioners if they also patronise 'Otigba' for softwares for editing their movies and other related stuffs.Secondly,do they pay or get permission from musicians for using their works in their movies as soundtrack and/for party scenes?If the answer to the above is yes,then they have every moral right,anything to the contrary means they are also on the wrong side of such fights.

  23. piracy is a monster that must be confronted by all and sundry

  24. I kinda agree with Ozor Obiora. But I also feel the infrastructure is already in place but pride is the only thing keeping them from exploring them! How did the music industry conquer piracy? They went into business with the pirates, the pirates became their distributors. And I think movie makers can either completely wipe out the menace of Alaba or go into distribution business with them.
    They should also clog the holes in their network cos these movies are leaked by people who they are in cohorts with. Cinema workers, award review boards etc.
    Set up distribution outfits in Alaba and see piracy disappear in Nigeria.
    But our movie makers want to chop the movie by themselves and na their ne bad!
    Movie making is a big business and should be treated thus, employing your family and friends to cut cost will continue to see all these leakages.

  32. When DSTV pays peanuts for a movie but milks it to the last drop, repeating it ad nauseam for years on their channels, what is that? Something worse than piracy of course. Nigerians dey work South Africa dey chop. How come no Nigerian can give us our very own equivalent of DSTV. Till this strangulating monopoly is broken, forget justice in this sector. The fish is rotten from the head.
