Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards continue to prove that the KathDen duo has a strong pull in their movies. However, a controversy recently surfaced after Kathryn released a statement regarding the piracy of their movie, which allegedly diminishes their success, especially in the United States.
According to Kathryn’s post, illegal movie piracy has become an issue, prompting her to initiate legal action to stop it. She said, “This kind of activity not only harms the industry but also the artists who worked hard for every scene of the movie.”
Piracy, Punishment Received
The pursuit of those involved in piracy has reportedly begun, and some have already been sampled. This includes those who are distributing copies on various platforms, especially online streaming sites. “This is not fair to those who worked hard to produce a quality film. It must be fought,” Kathryn added in her statement.
Fans’ Reaction
Amid the controversy, KathDen fans have been vocal on social media. Many were disappointed by the negative comments allegedly coming from bashers, particularly from some fans of Kathryn’s former duo, KathNiel.
“Some people are so jealous, especially KathNiel fans who can’t accept KathDen’s success. Instead of giving support, they’re just saying negative things,” commented one netizen. Others added that it seems like bashers are using the piracy issue to bring down the movie.
Kathryn Bernardo, Shows Resilience
Despite the negative issues, Kathryn remains positive. She thanked her fans for their continued support for her film, especially those abroad. “We will not let piracy ruin our good start. Thank you very much to everyone who watched legally and supported us,” Kathryn said in a message to her fans.
KathDen’s success
Despite everything, the success of the KathDen duo is undeniable. Their films continue to garner positive reviews and high box office revenues, not only in the Philippines but also abroad.
A Reminder
The issue of piracy remains a major challenge for the film industry. With the support of fans and legal action by artists like Kathryn and Alden, there is hope that it can be curbed.
For now, we continue to look forward to KathDen’s next steps to ensure they achieve justice against piracy, while remaining an inspiration to fans amidst challenges and successes.
