AGN LAGOS CHAPTER WALK AGAINST PIRACY

One of the key activities designed to mark the 3rd annual Lagos Actors Week is the “Walk against Piracy” awareness parade by all actors under the auspices of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Lagos Chapter.

In a statement signed by its chairman, Don Pedro Aganbi said that the walk against piracy is an avenue to further create awareness about the evil and danger of piracy in the movie industry.

According to the AGN Lagos Chairman, Piracy is killing movie business and actors are the ones that suffer it. If the producers are not working there won’t be Jobs for us.  Indeed, piracy has been around long enough to cool down a little but that is not the case as we still have with us dodgy DVDs and increasingly, illegal downloads, cost the film industry massive amounts of revenue every year. Piracy  needs to stop, or at least be controlled  to prevent it from completely undermining the progress Nollywood has made over the years” The AGN Chairman"

Aganbi further said that the Walk against Piracy initiative is also an attempt to identify with genuine movie producers in the country. The event will kick off November 10 in Lagos the statement said.
