Stop airing pirated content or face the law – Copyright Office warns TV stations
Ghana’s Copyright Office has issued a stern warning to all television broadcasters, directing them to immediately stop airing pirated or unlicensed content. TV stations must secure proper rights before airing any shows, films, or sporting events. Violators risk severe legal consequences including jail time, fines, and potential revocation of broadcasting licenses. The Office emphasized its intention to enforce compliance aggressively and urged broadcasters to take swift remedial action to align with copyright law.
