Title: Nollywood Actress Sues AIT Over Atupa Emi Copyright Infringement
Post by: Shola Sholaz on Oct 25, 2013, 11:41 PM
If you are regular viewer of African Independent Television ( AIT), you must have come across a Yoruba movie titled Atupa Emi, written and produced by Temitope Oluwa.
.
The producer of the movie has filed a lawsuit against the popular Television station for airing her movie without securing proper authorization.
.
The actress filed the whopping N5 million lawsuit with the help of her attorney, MA Bashua & Co. in November 2012 but AIT refused to respond.
.
When asked why she instituted such a huge claim, hear what the actress said:
"I don't have much to say but I have instituted a legal case against AIT over an infringement on my rights as a citizen and as the copyright owner of Atupa Emi, which is illegally been aired on their medium."
.
Apparently, the lawsuit letter was served last year and after AIT refused to respond,Queen Temitope Oluwa through her lawyers took the case to court.
