While the case is currently in court, DSTV is maintaining the stand that Anih, actually sold the movie to Multi Choice Nigeria Limited maintaining that if Joe had any problem he should sort it out with those he allegedly sold the movie to before relocating to his base. Trouble reportedly started on the 8th of September 2007, when DSTV aired the movie “Check Point”, produced by Joe Aihende without his permission.
An associate of the producer revealed that Joe Aihende decided to drag Multi Choice Nigeria to court over the infringement of his copy right in the movie Check Point, when he realized that all his anticipated earnings from the marketing of the movie had been lost. The producer is said to be suffering from emotional break down having obtained a huge loan from a bank in Zurich, Switzerland to prosecute the movie. Joe Aihende is currently indebted to the tune of 50,000 Swiss Francs to the earlier stated bank, GE Money Bank at Zurich, which was meant for effectively promoting the movie. Till date, Joe is still indebted to the bank and does not see a way out of the dilemma.
However, reacting to this development, via a legal document, DSTV revealed that they had negotiated and acquired the broadcast rights of over 6,000 films and other such contents in Nigeria and across Africa in the past and that they usually rely on a variety of documents when acquiring rights to films in Nigeria, including, but not limited to the censorship certificate or other documents from the National Censors Board, which has the name of the producer endorsed on it. In furtherance to their claims on the issue, DSTV revealed that it is a common thing to find producers relying on agents to collect monies on their behalf for the rights acquired regarding their content, which is typical of Joe Aihende’s case.
