Media24 launched legal action against two women who allegedly reproduced and distributed copies of its publications via WhatsApp, thereby violating the company's copyrights.
In papers filed in the Western Cape High Court, the publisher alleges that Christiana Catharina Gorgens and Leanda van den Berg shared PDF versions of Huisgenoot Lugbraaier in 2022 and between April and July 2023, shared various editions of its publications with members of the "Newspaper and Magazine Group" on WhatsApp, including Beeld, Sarie, Die Burger and Rapport.
The court action emanates from an investigation led by Media24's Afrikaans news deputy editor, Theresa Olivier, and the general manager of marketing and subscriptions, Madelein Venter.
