Bold Moves By Local Artistes to Enforce Copyright Law
Yesterday, something important happened. One of our Local Artistes Bebe Cool took some direct steps to enforce copyright law in Uganda. In a story relayed by the WBS TV, and retold by a local late night WBS TV show, the artist visited a section of the city where some of his music was being resold and made some arrests. His response made a lot of sense. He sounded rather exhasuted by the circulations in media, songs and taunts by some of his detractors about, "the unbuilt house". In all the seriousness that this involved there was a touch of humor when one of the women at the scene expressed her joy at seeing the star and stated "Nandi mulabye di" when would i ever have seen this star had it not been for this incident. The host of the late night music show (popularly know as Chopper Chopper) was right when he stated that, "while the act of attempting to enforcing the law was bold and in a sense right, the artist is in for a long and exhasting fight"
