For long, broadcast signal pirates, with no little chutzpah, have run rings around content creators and rights holders. But on June 8, they had the stuffing knocked out of them when the Federal High Court delivered a judgment that will have a significant impact on intellectual property rights in the country.

Aknockout punch it may not be, but the 8 June judgment of the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High qualifies as major blow on broadcast signal piracy and other strains of intellectual property theft in Nigeria.
For long, broadcast signal pirates, with no little chutzpah, have run rings around content creators and rights holders. But on 8 June, they had the stuffing knocked out of them when the Federal High Court delivered judgment that will have significant impact on intellectual property rights in the country.
The judgment, in my view, represents a chance to loosen the chokehold of piracy on the content economy, thereby engendering a healthier creative ecosystem as obtainable in progressive societies around the world.
Justice Agatha Okeke issued a warrant for Udemba’s arrest after he failed to appear in court.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Udemba alongside his company, Communication Trends Limited and one Samuel Onyeanuforo for allegedly broadcasting the EPL matches without the permission of MultiChoice Nigeria Limited on November 19 last year.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the three-count charge preferred against them by the commission and were granted bail in the sum of N3m each with a surety each in like sum.
The matter was adjourned till Wednesday for the commencement of trial.
At the resumption of the trial, the defence counsel, S. O. Okuguni, informed the court that Udemba was unavailable due to ill-health and was receiving treatment in the United States.
