Ghanaian filmmaker, creative director, and the founder and C.E.O of Farmhouse Productions, Ivan Quashigah has expressed his disappointment in what he describes as an enabler for piracy by Telegram.
Telegram Messenger is a globally accessible freemium, encrypted, cloud-based, and centralized instant messaging service.
The application also provides optional end-to-end encrypted chats, video calling, VoIP, file sharing, and several other features.
According to some movie producers, since the introduction many people hide behind the platform to download their best movies, music, series among others through it end-to-end encryption that allows users to conceal their identity,
Speaking at a forum organised by Graphic Showbiz in partnership with Multichoice Ghana on the future of Ghana’s movie industry, Mr.Quashigah said, producers go through a lot of challenges to get money to produce movies only to be pirated through the aid of platforms like Telegram.
He noted that he has sent various e-mails and filed complaints over time but to no avail.
The award-winning producer called for the engagement of international lawyers to take a class legal action against Telegram to avert the situation.
The Farm House boss praised other platforms for their proactiveness in protecting copyrighted works, but not Telegram.
