Yassss drag them sis, sue their asss, we don't take copyright infringement seriously in this country, it is an intellectual theft, and it's unfortunate that a company like irokotv are the shameless perpetrators, this is a criminal offence that ruins big companies in saner climes. Dragggg their theiving, shameless and disgusting ass.

I have observed a lot of terrible acting in the film.

Seems so mechanical and lifeless

Some lazy drones are always waiting for manna to fall from heaven never want to go through the pain to do their work in order to receive gain but lay in wait to poach on ready-made works though not their fault but Nigerian Copywrite Commission that is inactive.

According to her, it seems Irokotv bought the story from someone else. What she should do is sue that fella and then ask the court to compel Iroko to pull down the movie from their platform. Until she does thst, shes wasting her time barking at the wrong tree

There actually is.

She needs to be determined though, very determined.

Exactly my thought. Someone must have gotten the e-book and in return, decide to make money off it.

But even at that, Iroko should first conduct a plagiarism check before proceeding with deals like that. Someone can not claim to write a book and you go ahead and make it a movie. There are processes to pass through.

Why is Tomi Davies so focused on Iroko TV, they did not produce the movie. The movie wasn't even done in Nigeria but Ghana and Iroko had directed her to the producers.

How do you conduct a plagiarism check in real life. These things are easier said than done. The lady should go and settle her case with DEO INTERBIZ LIMITED as advised by Iroko.

Isn't she meant to be calling out the so called writer and producers? Seems she is looking for the big fish to trend...

And why the heck do people threaten to sue people in Nigeria instead of just going ahead to sue?

Marvin Gayes family/estate didnt make noise before suing Ed Sheeran...we just heard the case is in court after going through some experts shikena

THIS IS SO ANNOYING!!

When i was a young music producer, i had a lot of people use my beats and then give it to someone else to use even though i didn't sell the full rights to them. I would hear my work all over radio and TV in Nigeria but i wasn't making a penny of attaining any level of fame.

This is so sad and i feel for this young lady. I feel her frustration... The good news is that she can get justice... Not just justice but she can also get compensation. She can sue them and lets see how that goes.

Bless up and don't give up.

I used to follow her blog and read her stories when I had a lot of time, she's a very good writer and beautiful stranger was my favourite as well. It's about a depressed doctor addicted to booze that met lady with terminal cancer and they fell in love against the odds. Very heart touching story with bits of humour too, I'd read it again if I have the chance. If truly Irokotv adapted her story without her consent, they deserve to be sued for copyright infringement. If she gets a good lawyer, she could be no less than N10 million naira richer. This should serve as a lesso to those filmmakers that think they can hijack people's work anyhow.

They are redistributing a content without appropriate permission. They are culpable and even as guilty as the people to sold it to them (IrokoTV).
Since Iroko did so unwillfully, here is what Iroko Must do:

What they should do is to settle out of court with the lady and pay up in order to continue streaming the content... then they agree on future royaties.
Afterwhich they will pay a one time fee (dESIST fee) to the people that shot the series and passed it off as theirs. They will never conduct business with those people or any of their affiliates in the future.

That is how its normally done!

True, I'm sure this is what Jason would do.

Did she put a copyright claim before every clip of the video? She may have to find a strong lawyer to save a losing battle undecided

God will punish any Judge that will not act in the interest of justice as pertaining to this case.

Someone will be tolling at night to put things on paper onlt for someone or somebody to lay hold on the blue/black paper and begin to sell it.

A case of reaping were they never sow

Not everytime.

In some cases, smart victims sue the party that can pay more.

Iroko TV can pay more than whoever sold the script in the first place.

And they have made money from it too ,which makes them complicit.

In law, ignorance is not a valid excuse.

How did you establish this is the case?

I wish and truly hope this goes to full course in court. Really feel sorry for her but shes backing up the wrong tree. the only reason why iroko will pay as it is will be purely sentimental/sympathy.

And as usual i love how Nigerians keep shouting sue sue sue.... I'm always craving for cases that make the full course in Nigeria. after 2 weeks everyone will forget things

anyone know what happened to the uber driver vs actress kidnap case?
