Renowned Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Ruth Kadiri Ezerika, has tackled Ghanaian televisions over alleged undue broadcasting of her content without proper authorisation.
She warned them to desist from such acts, threatening legal actions against them if they persisted.
In addition to expressing her displeasure over the unethical practice, the popular actress highlight the significance of upholding intellectual property rights.
She explained in a video shared online that the hesitation over watermarking her content brews from the notion that it could diminish the quality.
She stated: “I have a lot of love for the entire country, but I’m deeply disappointed that a major TV station in Ghana would take my content, edit it, and broadcast it as if they have the license to do so. And it’s not just one station, it’s multiple.”
“I’ve hesitated to watermark my content because I believe it would detract from its quality. This is my first warning, and it will be the last because if it happens again, you will hear from my legal team.”
