[kictanet] Music Piracy in Kenya - Government can Help

[Bernard Kioko [Bernsoft Interactive Limited]]

Ali,

Thank you. I am aware this wont be easy but if we can fix it, Kenyans can live on the music they make AND they can make even better music since they get returns.

Regards

Alex and All

There is a clear case of Intermediary Liability here. Especially the Telco/ISP  that sent promotional SMSs urging people to download music forlorn WAPKID.

Maybe Victor can help here..

Kioko, keep up the good fight. The issue of piracy is a sticky one and one that puts money in the wrong hands.
