Tunde Kelani has condemned the unauthorised creation of short clips from films, describing the trend as piracy and intellectual property abuse.
Kelani, popularly known as TK, voiced his concerns in a Facebook post on Wednesday, reacting to the growing practice of bloggers and social media users who extract scenes from his movies and circulate them online without his permission.
“This is WRONG! Cutting our films — Saworoide, Agogo Eewo, Ti Oluwa Nile, Thunderbolt: Magun — into unauthorised reels and posting them online is not promotion. It is piracy and the destruction of our cultural work,” he wrote.
“A film is a complete story, not fragments for quick views to make quick money illegally. This is stealing openly”
“Please stop this practice and wickedness! Support creators by watching and sharing films through the proper channels. Let us protect, not diminish, our heritage. Stop this criminality,” he added.
