Nigerian singer offers her fingers cut off pirates

The Nigerian government has announced last August that it plans to strengthen measures to combat piracy, but the singer Stella Monye believes that this is not enough. It offers a very elegant and efficient way: for each case of infringement of copyright cut off one finger.

Afam Ezekude (pictured center), Director of the Nigerian Commission for copywriting (NCC), заявил, it plans to introduce new laws to eradicate online piracy in the country. He said that piracy is rampant, and the current laws do not work unfortunately. However, some of his colleagues were surprised by this statement. They believe that instead of focusing on the Internet, it would be better to do ever-increasing number of sold counterfeit CD and DVD. However Ezekude objected that in this digital era, it is necessary first of all to do tracking and punishment internet criminals.

A year has passed, but it seems the authorities are not satisfied with the artists. Last week Stella Monye told Nigeriyskogu news agency that only drastic measures can stop the pirates. Serve them to court useless - they pay a fine and go Pirates again. A pair worth pirates cut off fingers, and the rest were afraid. Those who are not frightened, gradually cut off his fingers, and they simply can not pirates.
