After what happened to Star Cinema’s “The Achy Breaky Hearts,” the director of the upcoming movie “Imagine You & Me” starring Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, issued a warning about online piracy.
On Twitter, Michael Tuviera joined showbiz people who are campaigning against online piracy, “Piracy is damaging to all films, regardless of your network loyalty or fan affiliation. We are all fans of films.”
Here in LionhearTV, we always remind our readers that piracy is a crime. Piracy has dealt a big blow not just to our local movie industry but also worldwide. Piracy is a disease that needs to be cured if our movie industry is to succeed. We do believe that the government is not doing much to deal with cases of piracy. Of course we have read cases of offenders being arrested but i do not remember hearing of any conviction to date, maybe it skipped our ears?
We need pieces of legislation that are clear in how such cases should be dealt with. There is a need for the police and law enforcement agents to effectively deal with offenders and set a clear example to those involved in this fraudulent and scandalous enterprise. One thing for sure is that those involved in the production of pirated music are known but i wonder why there are not being brought to book.
