Elijah Kitaka believes the copyright discussions being held now should have been had several years ago, and has little faith in the copyright bill being effective for Ugandan artists.The discussions that reached a massive milestone a few weeks ago, with the passing of the copyright amendment bill in parliament, have faced criticism from the public, but also the amongst artists themselves.Questions concerning understanding copyright, its implementation, the leadership at the Uganda National Musicians Federation, and its mode of operations have arisen the most.Dax Vibez clarifies remarks on Joshua Baraka, Eddy Kenzo’s international successElijah Kitaka, a Swangz Avenue artist, does not differ from members of the public who believe that matters of copyright have been gatekept, with little sensitisation and education amongst the music stakeholders.While on a TikTok live show with Bruno K, Kitaka noted that he also believes it is a little too late to be having such conversations because the world has already moved on from this stage, and hence, it may not be as effective as people think it will be.I know people wonder why I am never actively involved in those artists’ engagements, but the fact is, we are still 1500 years backward. Whatever we are fighting for right now will never work. I speak as an artist trying to penetrate the international market, not as a hater of the industry.Artists don’t even understand what copyright is. We have not held a single class about copyright, but we are always discussing when the money is coming. Every time people meet, they discuss nothing. They never hold workshops. @ck.media256 ##ekiboozi #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #goviral #foryoupage @Elijah Kitaka ♬ original sound – CkⓂ️edia📸 The post Elijah Kitaka says copyright education in Uganda is long overdue appeared first on MBU.
