Global producers and distributors of films and television programmes such as Walt Disney Studios, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal City Studios and Warner Bros have called on President Cyril Ramaphosa not to sign the contentious Copyright Amendment Bill in its current form.
They wanted it sent back “for a proper, sector-specific impact assessment and meaningful consultation with affected stakeholders”.“The SA government has committed itself to modernising SA copyright law to bring it into line with the WIPO internet and Beijing treaties, which SA intends to ratify. Earlier in 2019, the International Intellectual Property Association , which represents US companies that produce copyright-protected material, including computer software, films, TV programmes, music and books, said as a retaliatory measure it will lobby the US government to withdraw SA’s preferential trade status should the bill be signed into law.
