Illegal kopiering mod loven og Islam. En note fra 1islam.net.

We have recently become aware of the amount of illegal copying of our DVDs and CDs all over the world and it has shocked us to find the extent of our products being pirated and sold illegally.

ONE ISLAM PRODUCTIONS are not funded and rely only on Allah and the sales of our products. We are trying to build a quality film company (which costs MONEY) and we are hurt financially when people copy our work. We strive hard to present Islam in the highest of quality as it deserves to be... because we believe Islam is the best thing.

Unfortunately many Islamic companies, organisations and individuals are illegally replicating our DVDs and CDs at a very low quality and selling them. This is not only illegal but also defaming our name by illegally re-producing our products in such disgraceful quality. It’s heartbreaking for us to see after we spend so much time and money to produce a high quality product.

According to the Book of Allah, the teachings of our beloved Prophet (pbuh) and many fatwas by many great scholars, this is against Islam. .. even for DAWAH PURPOSES.

Alhumdulilah ONE ISLAM PRODUCTIONS have established ONEMEDIA for the purpose of supplying our high quality DVDs/CDs as cheap as $3.00 USD when purchased in bulk for dawah. The DVDs and CDs also contain information about Islam on the inside cover.

Many Islamic media organisations have shut down - and eventually we may have none left... so nothing to copy! These same media organisations have the ability to produce excellent products that make DAWAH easy for Muslims. The films can cost the production companies anywhere between $100,000 up to $3,000,000 to produce and it costs you only $5 to $20 to purchase. If after all that cost to produce, the DVD is copied and sold cheap, how would that company ever produce another! This is the core problem.

Due to the high level of ILLEGAL COPYING WORLD WIDE, we have been low on funds and therefore have not been able to complete any of the many films that were due for release in 2006.

Muslims all over the world are sick of the media constantly reporting lies about Islam and broadcasting rubbish to the world... many Muslims will agree that we need Islamic films, programmes for our children and documentaries for the average human wanting to learn about Islam....well alhumdulilah we are able to produce high quality films that will insha’Allah benefit us all in this world and the hereafter.

ONE ISLAM PRODUCTIONS are now a member of IMA and therefore collaborating with other production companies in the USA, Canada, UK/Europe, South East Asia, Middle East and Africa to combat piracy. We may sadly be forced to take legal action against such illegal and un-Islamic practises.

We urge all brothers and sisters to refuse to buy illegal copies of any DVD, CD or book that looks pirated... and ask that you please report them to the original producers. Remember buying a pirated product is also illegal.

Please inform others about this important matter.
