Renowned Ugandan film producer and actor, John Segawa, has spoken out against the imprisonment of individuals involved in piracy, advocating instead for a dialogue between film producers and marketers to address the issue.

Segawa made these comments during an interview with Spark TV, emphasizing the need for a collaborative approach to combat piracy in the country.

“They shouldn’t be jailed. They need to be released and asked to attain legal rights from the movie owners of selling those movies. But they should stop doing that business coz its illegally against our works. We need a round table talk between film producers and marketers, and we welcome them,” Segawa stated, highlighting the importance of finding alternative solutions rather than resorting to punitive measures.

Piracy remains a significant challenge for the Ugandan film industry, with illegal distribution and sale of movies depriving creators of their rightful earnings. Segawa’s call for dialogue reflects a growing recognition within the industry of the need to address this issue through collaborative efforts.

The proposal for a round table discussion between film producers and marketers signifies a willingness to engage in constructive dialogue aimed at finding solutions that benefit all parties involved.

By bringing stakeholders together, Segawa hopes to foster understanding and cooperation in tackling piracy while also protecting the interests of filmmakers and content creators.

Segawa’s stance underscores the complexities surrounding piracy and the importance of exploring multifaceted approaches to combatting it.

Rather than solely relying on punitive measures, such as imprisonment, his advocacy for dialogue reflects a broader commitment to addressing the root causes of piracy and finding sustainable solutions.

As the conversation around piracy in Uganda continues, Segawa’s voice adds a valuable perspective, emphasizing the need for collaboration, understanding, and respect for intellectual property rights within the film industry.

Only through such concerted efforts can the industry effectively tackle the challenges posed by piracy while promoting a thriving and sustainable creative ecosystem.
