Nigerian Actress Ruth Kadiri Threatens Legal Action Against Ghanaian TV Stations
Ghanaian television stations have been issued a strong warning by popular Nollywood actress and producer Ruth Kadiri for showing her work without permission.
The famous actress has also stated her willingness to take legal action against the television stations responsible for their mistreatment.
The well-known Nollywood actress stressed the importance of protecting one’s own creative work. She claimed that the unauthorized broadcasting of her films not only violated her rights but also negatively impacted the livelihoods of all the people involved in the making of the films.
In a recent video posted by her social media accounts, the actress made it clear that she intends to take legal action against any media house responsible for the illegal streaming of her movies and television series.
“I love my Ghanaian family soo much, 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, and show it on TV like they have the licence to do that. 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,” she said.
“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 content, and instead of buying this content, you would rather rip it and show it on national TV,” she added.
