Musician Henry Mayanja has revealed what he would prioritize if given a one-on-one meeting with President Museveni to discuss issues affecting the arts and entertainment industry.According to Mayanja, before artists push for the amendment and passing of the copyright law, the government should first establish a radio and television station dedicated exclusively to promoting creative work. He argues that it is unrealistic for artists to demand copyright protections when the industry lacks its own major media platforms to amplify local content.He emphasized that radio and television remain the most reliable avenues for music promotion and will continue to play a central role for decades to come.If I had the opportunity to meet President Museveni or any government official responsible for the arts industry, the very first thing I would ask for is the establishment of a TV and radio station for musicians. You can’t fight for copyright when you don’t have media platforms of your own.Kazibwe Kapo opens up about why he avoids the political arenaMayanja also expressed concern that once the copyright law is enacted, many Ugandan musicians could face lawsuits, particularly from Nigerian artists, because some have used Nigerian musical concepts without obtaining permission.“When the copyright law is passed, many of our musicians will likely be sued by Nigerians because most artists here have used their content without permission.”‘Tewali kyetuyinza kola ku copyright, ‘ Henry Mayanja agamba buli omu esobola omukwata#DailySoup pic.twitter.com/VlxIOiErnI— SPARK TV (@sparktvuganda) November 20, 2025The post Henry Mayanja: Copyright law is useless without arts-focused media appeared first on MBU.
