The case won was about the piracy of his 2019 film, “Survival of Jelili”. An unnamed media company exploited his film by superimposing images from his film onto another YouTube video, misleading viewers into thinking they were viewing the actual movie. This deception boosted the views of the other YouTube title, leading to unaccounted revenue streams over time.
After a three-year legal battle, the court ruled in Adebayo’s favor and awarded him the N25 million...
He made a post on his Instagram handle and ended it with ''This isn't just my win as a filmmaker and content producer but a win for all of Nollywood. We need to be ready to fight IP theft and piracy at all levels. Every win brings us closer to protecting and getting the true economic value of our works."
Big ups to him

ReplyDeleteOur Judges should be more open handed in awarding general damages to teach those who reap where they did not show that "financially beneficial torts" are not proper means of earning a living.

Wao congratulations to him.
ReplyDeleteHis case should have accounted for the loss of goodwill due to disappointed fans and also costs of litigation, added press engagement, other opportunity costs. That 25 million is too small a deterrent but it sets a good precedent. I hope he is able to enforce the judgement speedily.
