Youtube is not a socialist system. It is there to make money and have rules and regulation. Those infinging on copy rights via uploading unauthorised video are breaking regulations and rules, so youtube is doing the right thing by removing them.

So David Beckham, YaYa Toure, Bill Gates etc are one of the most highest earners in their profession, I suppose because of this, let us not pay to watch them play or Pirate every copy of Windows 7 that we can find?

By the way, what do you do?

I am talking about quid pro quo

These guys did not invest shi shi into their education, did not study the industry; pretty much, they woke up, joined the industry, monopolised it with their African magic, and bula, they are making millions while zillions of professionals are roaming the street aimlessly. A little bit of fariness here my guy. What they produce is absolute nonsense. Same theme, same plot, same face day in, day out

They do not deserve the lifestyle they enjoy, looking at the quality and content of the crap they produce. It is sheer wickedness on their part to go after those youtube uploaders. The people watching it are  not going to buy it in the first place. i watch it whenever I am homesick and feel like hearing some Yoruba, not necessarily because I love it. What they should do is that they should  prevent it from been bradcasted/watchable in Nigeria, and allow the rest rest of the world, especillay the Nigerians in the west, have access to it. A little bit of public service , thats what we are asking for.

Ode, wetin concern Youtube concern nollywood
Hows youtube going to make money from having less nollywod materials on their site?

As a matter of fact, the present arrangement of having private individuals upload those videos is the best for youtube. The problem here is IrokoPartners or whatever they call themselves. They are trying to corner the industry, and I bet it with you, it is going to be an EPIC FAIL. The industry is not as lucrative as they think it is!

@lagbaja20
You're the biggest "Ode" on this site, you never post without insulting someone.

lagbaja20:

Ode!
Who have i insulted thus far?

aieromon:

Never knew so many of you watched Nollywood movies.

Mobinga:

Another argument

ElRazur:


It is a forum. What were you expecting? Perhaps we should all agree, that way, there won't be much to talk about. Deal?

ElRazur:

WTF. *****Breathe Deep**** WTF
What a load of self-justification.
Do you have a single proof to all of your wild claims? There was never an "industry" in Nigeria when it came to movie making. You had Pioneers like Pa Ogunde, Babasala, Ray Eyiwunmi and co but there was never a SET STANDARD or Standard of Practice.
You claimed, they did nothing, but became something. Surely, ain't that what capitalism and "Nigeira dream" is about? Are you kidding me? Jesus freaking wept.

So the movies is not to your taste as you will want us to believe, but you will rather try and watch it for free? You contradicted yourself and just talking for the sake of it.

If they do not deserve their lifestyle, is it a fair assessment that you do not deserve to be allowed near a computer with internet access ever?  

Dude, your post is coming across as jealousy and envy to be honest.

You seem to come across like it is your damn right to watch movies for free simply because it is Nigerian movie. Don't be daft please. This folks owes you nothing and their stuff should not be watched for free if it is their blood and sweat.

What a joke. Please tell me you are joking?  

aieromon:

Is it wrong to upload copyright material?Yes
Is it wrong to download copyright material?Yes
Why the loose talk then?Just find a way to beat the system and stop the ''socialist'' crap talk.WTF

oyb:

as a warez monkey, all i can say is - nothing lasts forever

what iroko and co really need to do is some youtube collabo - there is obviously a big market for online nollywood movies.

i hope they will be able to find a way to push themselves into the 21st century; there's clearly a business opportunity here.

lagbaja20:

They owe me plenty
They are able to make it as easily as they have done because the government isnt doing her job
There are no certifications required, no tax collected from them. No well staffed oversight body to regulate their activities, and the quality of the crap they produce. Simply put, they have exploited the system badly, and by so doing, they have denied their fellow citizens, yours truly included, services we would otherwise have enjoyed.

lagbaja20:

Well capitalism thrives on people's woes, fears, and anxiety. There is nothing like the Nigerian dream, BTW. The movie industry in Nigeria is the biggest scam ever. I guess in your opinion, the politicians in Abuja deserve the money they make, and by extending your ludicrous argument to include other spheres of the Nigerian society, is it safe to assume that those people involved in 'yahoo yahoo' deserve the money they make as well; after all, they ( yahoo yahoo and politicians like Omisore and Tinubu) are doing nothing, but are making something
In my line of work, the average person invests at least 250000  dolls into their education, in the hope that it will pay big when they finish schooling. It is only in Nigeria, especially, in the movie industry, that people put in nothing, and reap big overnight.

Yes, to while away time. I'd rather watch, most times I just listen while I do other things on my computer, than say listen to music. I dont think the quality is worth my money and time really. I have not contradicted myself.

Why are you thinking like Ileke like this? Are you from Ekiti as well?
This is all about quid pro quo my guy
I work hard, and I bought my laptop from best buy with my money. It wasnt given to me free of charge. I dont know about you, but here nothing is free. Internet access? Need I explain?

I dont do movies. Why should i be jealous of those riff-raffs?

No, i am not joking. i am damn serious

there this bizarre idea among the younger generation that downloading pirated stuff is not stealing because it is from 'rich and greedy corporations'

most older warez users have acknowledged that it is wrong but they do it because they can get away with it

none of this fluffy headed ranting against capitalists

iroko, Microsoft movie studios etc have a right to protect their revenue streams within boundaries defined by the law, just like

i tend to see anti capitalist rants as the whining of omega characters who know they can never make it anywhere in a competitive world and so want some sort of leveld world where people with ambition go nowhere

no loser left behind

oyb:

friendly stalker, if you really think i peruse the pitiful crap those half wit spammers post looking for warez, you must be smoking some real bad ish.

meanwhile, since you love stalking me so much, can u recommend a co mod, or are you just all mouth ?  

Nope, . I don't absolutely think ur perusing any of dat crap. . . . .but I'm definitely smoking some bad **ish lol

Im stalking U cos I hate to see all those crap cos I knw they all came from the fone board. . . .but since that board now has 2 active mods. . . . .they've suppressed their activities.
If U want me to recommend one. . . . .I can't definitely do dat in dis thread.

Naijamann:

Don't mind Iroko Partners or whatever they called themselves, they are the same people as NollywoodLove on youtube. I got an email from them telling me that they aimed to be the "only" channel on youtube that will be uploading nollywood movies, They claimed copyright on my videos while I was away on Christmas break and I got banned but I have already posted a counter claim and hopefully they can reopen my channel,


Meanwhile you guys can watch oldschool movies at http://www.victolastores.co.uk/ just go on the video link when you get there.

This is PackmannTV on youtube!

Mygoldie:

Who is iroko partners for F U CK sake?? show your face.

Naijamann:

Iroko partners is London-based, here is a copy of the message they put on my profile before they got my account banned:


IrokoPartnersLtd has posted a comment on your profile:

We are close to achieving our goal in that, we have managed to shut down most channels posting Nigerian movies on Youtube without Youtube validating our copyright documents. .
