Of what benefit is it for a man to reap where he did not sow?\u00a0 This is one mind-bugging question that Uzor Godson Nwaosu, the Chief Executive Officer of Guinks Productions,\u00a0 is asking those culprits who pirated his two films just a week after they were released into the market.<\/p>\n

\"\"The films, \u201cTears of the Moon\u201d and \u201cJewel of the Sun\u201d were Nwaosu\u2019s latest offering which were released into the market early last month.<\/p>\n

At the moment, no arrest has been made in respect of those\u00a0 behind the illegal business but Nwaosu said he\u2019s working underground to uncover the identity of the culprits.<\/p>\n

He told HVP on telephone that the pirated copies of the two movies were intercepted at the Alaba International market and Onitsha market respectively.<\/p>\n

Nwaosu who is currently counting his loses said the pirates swung into action, pirating the films a week after they were released into the market. The films dwell on social issues, and starred\u00a0 Emeka Ike, Mike<\/p>\n

Ezuruonye, Mercy Johnson, Joyce Kalu, Linda Chinyere and other notable names in Nollywood.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that veteran cinematographer, Tunde Kelani suffered the same fate last year when his big-budget epic film, \u201cArugba\u201d was pirated a week after the film was released\u00a0 into market.<\/p>\n

Kelani lamented\u00a0 the infringement on his copyright but nothing was done to stem the tide. It was indeed, not for nothing that one of the pioneer producers in Nollywood, Igwe Gab Okoye recently vowed never to return to film making until the government\u00a0 addresses\u00a0 the issue of piracy in this country.<\/p>\n
