The mother of one who expressed her displeasure with TV platforms airing her film without permission warned that she would not hesitate to take legal action against them.
Ruth wrote; “I have a lot of love for the entire country, but I’m deeply disappointed that a major TV station in Ghana would take my content, edit it, and broadcast it as if they have the license to do so. And it’s not just one station, it’s multiple.
‘‘I’ve hesitated to watermark my content because I believe it would detract from its quality. This is my first warning, and it will be the last because if it happens again, you will hear from my legal team.” She added.
