<h2>Jagun Jagun movie producer Femi Adebayo has issued a strong message addressing his view on the piracy wars the creative industry faces.</h2>

<p>He expressed the need to protect the Nigerian film industry in his post on Instagram writing, <em>"Piracy is a criminal act that threatens the very essence of our creative industry... we really have to protect Nollywood's future and support legitimate creators"</em>.</p>

<p>In view of his strong actions in supporting the anti-piracy war, Adebayo has launched a search on pirating perpetrators. He and his team have arrested a DVD pirate seller who pirated copies of his recently released movie<em> </em><a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/movies/here-is-your-first-look-at-netflixs-jagun-jagun/2qg35f1"><em>Jagun Jagun</em></a>.</p>

<p>The Yoruba epic movie is only available on the Netflix streaming platforms and as such shouldn't have DVD copies. </p>

<p>As a result, Adebayo calls on individuals with credible information regarding pirating sources of <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/movies/3-compelling-performances-from-netflix-latest-yoruba-epic-jagun-jagun/86k7q01"><em>Jagun Jagun</em></a>. He said, <em>"If you possess any information about individuals involved in producing or distributing pirated copies of Jagun Jagun, I implore you to share with us immediately via Dm or email</em>".</p>

<p>Femi Adebayo isn't the first Nigerian creative plagued with the piracy struggle. <strong>Kemi Adetiba</strong> also had the same experience, with individuals pirating her movie <strong><em>King of Boys</em></strong>.</p>

<p>The incident occurred in September 2021, with some person impersonating her on an illegal pirating website, pleading for the removal of <em>King of Boys </em>from the website. <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/movies/kemi-adetiba-denies-commenting-on-site-illegally-circulating-kob-series/58w84gm">Kemi distanced herself</a> from the widely spreading piracy issue, describing it as a disturbing act which she had no hand in.</p>

<p><em>Jagun Jagun </em>is still streaming on Netflix and one can only hope that the piracy wars get successfully tackled.</p>
