Media General, owners of TV3, have called the bluff of movie producer Socrate Safo, and from all indications, a court suit against the company is inevitable.
The much-watched television channel is said to have showed a Ghanaian movie, ‘Play Boy’, on its platform and this has not gone down well with Mr. Safo.
According to Socrates Safo, he is the rightful owner of the movie and therefore deems it copyright infringement for TV3 to have shown the movie without his permission whatsoever.
The network has however fired back at Mr. Safo saying their checks show he is an imposter and not the owner of the movie.
Despite not mentioning who they believe is the rightful owner of the movie, the station has also dared the movie producer to prove he is the owner of the movie in question.
Interestingly, some cast and crew of the PlayBoy movie have expressed surprise at the claim by TV3 that the movie is not the intellectual property of Safo.
Checks showed that Mr. Safo, for years, has been collecting royalties for the movie from other organizations.
