Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Bimbo Ademoye, has voiced her anger over the illegal use of her film’s title and promotional poster by several YouTube platforms.
Taking to her Instagram page on Tuesday, Ademoye condemned the actions of the content pirates, accusing them of exploiting her creative efforts without permission. She disclosed that at least two channels Nollynew Series TV and Nolly Specials had uploaded her intellectual property without authorization for several days.
Ademoye vowed to report the channels and work closely with the necessary authorities to ensure they are brought down.
“Enough is enough!!!. I hate that I have to do this, but my blood, sweat, tears , hard work, money, sleepless nights will not be enjoyed by someone else!. As it is now there are already 2 channels that have stolen my title and my poster for about 2-3 days now , they’re Nollynew series TV and Nolly specials. (Guys pls help me report their channels) .
“It is very unfair , that we’d work ,day and night and one evil demon would come and reap where they didn’t sow. This time I will not take it,” she warned.
She also recounted a personal experience that highlighted how widespread the piracy problem has become.
“I wanted to watch @biodunstephen film yesterday, I typed out the title and over 40 came out WITH HER THUMBNAIL. I’d do whatever it takes to bring you guys down , let the battle begin! AYODEJI FILMS, I AM COMING FOR YOU . Can’t remember the name of the TV station in Ghana (if you do pls indicate in the comments)But if I have to tag the office of @officialjdmahama to ensure this stops. I WILL.. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” she said.
