Piracy is not the major problem affecting the movie industry. In fact, the menace is just a secondary problem. The primary problem is the excess films in circulation, a Yoruba movie icon well known as Olaiya Igwe has said.
According to him, actors all have their fan base, and as such, most of the (fans) cannot watch all of the movies. Definitely, they will have to pick the one they prefer.
“Now let’s look at it from this angle, you produce like 40 movies in a year, you now sold it for 200 naira. The pirate guy will pick it, reproduce it and sell it for 100 naira. So tell me, which will the audience go for? It’s the one with lesser price that they will buy. Now whose fault is it, you as the producer, you are the cause because you produced too many movies,” the actor said.
He added that, “what we need to do is how we can minimize the number of works we put into the market, from there, we now device a means of putting a good structure to protect our artistic work.”
