A local film producer said she is planning to take legal action against an e-commerce platform after discovering that sellers were offering pirated copies of her film from as low as 80sen each.

“I’m disappointed because the platform allowed this to happen. I found out that people can contact the seller, make payment and then they will get a link to download the film through Telegram,” Datuk Normashayu Puteh said when contacted by LifestyleTech.
