The Latest Methods of Movie and Music Piracy in Nigeria





The Latest Methods of Movie and Music Piracy in Nigeria

Piracy of Nigerian movies and music videos by illegal copying and selling of the DVDs and CDs is outdated and no longer in vogue in Nigeria.
Nigerian pirates are more educated and informed in new technologies in mass communications than Nigerian filmmakers and film distributors.

Going to Idumota, Alaba,, Onitsha, Aba and Umuahia to raid traders pirating #Nollywood movies is a waste of time. Because, the new high tech methods of IP piracy don't need downloading into CDs and DVDs.
Using the Secure Digital (SD), a non-volatile memory card is now the simplest and most preferred format for piracy.

Millions of people in Nigeria, including law enforcement agents are the regular customers of the pirates on the streets of Nigerian towns and cities. You can get more than 100 movies and music videos for N50 in a memory card and keep it inside your pocket or wallet without anyone knowing that you are carrying more than enough content to launch a new cable TV channel.
In fact, one pirate on the street has more content than some cable TV channels and TV/Film distributors.
With loads of content in a single memory card, you can watch all the current TV dramas, shows, series, movies and music videos without internet that millions of subscribers are paying thousands of naira for in monthly or annual subscriptions.

These Smart Alec pirates have left Nigerian producers and distributors behind in the applications of new technologies for the entertainment industry.
