Within the last two years, he said the commission has brought about 40 cases before the court.
“Before the DG came in, there were only two cases prosecuted, but today we have close to 40 cases in less than two years, that is a plus which has never happened in the commission before and this has shown that the commission is working,” Amodu said.
The commission is not relenting in its anti-piracy campaigns, he said.
He disclosed this at an unscheduled visit to some optical disc factories operating in Lagos. According to him, Nigerian artists, right owners and producers are groping under the heavy impacts of piracy which is having negative effects on the market.
He said: “If you note critically, you will notice that the market situation has dropped because of the issue of piracy.”
He said the commission is taking the pirates by surprise with its unscheduled visits.
