December 12, (THEWILL) – Popular blogger, Stella Dimoko-Korkus, has accused Punch newspaper of intellectual property theft. The aggrieved writer made this known after the newspaper allegedly published the interview she had with Nollywood actress, Ini Edo without giving her credit.
Stella stated that a respected newspaper should not steal from a ‘small fry’ like her, adding that, anytime she copies stories, she ensures she gives due credits to the sources.
Ironically, about three years ago, the newspaper’s legal team wrote to the blogger, warning her to stay away from its stories. Stella was advised never to pick contents from the company’s website again, despite the fact that she claimed to give credit to the daily. The blogger complied and she was later given permission to resume taking contents from the website, but with an instruction to give the newspaper credit for it.
