Nigeria plays no heed to copyright laws on anything.
Film and music industries in Nigeria simply copy and paste things and pass them off as their own work. The excuse they come up with is "this is not America!" If we want to be taken serious we have to respect the original owners of works - after all, they put time and effort into what they have produced.
Cheating gets no one anywhere.
As a nation we should know this by now!

it doesn't matter the date the film was video or filmed,what matters is when it was published that made it new. What I'm saying is that a film can be. Video 1980 n be released 2014 then it bcome new. No mara how long it take 2 produce it.
