I second you on the Nairobi Law rip off. it is such a shame that a few people can stifle creativity. If the media houses would buy these ideas even at break even cost, then we would see brilliant productions on TV instead of substandard programmes which we are forced to accept in the name of promoting local content.
On the same issue, i heard from Grapevine that Queen Bee is very pissed off with a certain Equity. After getting into an exclusive deal for M-tommorrow product, a certain equity goes ahead and sells to chungwa the same idea as chungwa money.......
What goes around comes around....
The important question is, when you have an idea where you obviously need the might and power of this powerhouses in their respectve industries, how do you protect yourself?
