Washington has been delaying the conclusion of the benefits review of the Generalised System of Preferences which is in favour of South Africa and the International Intellectual Property Alliance.
One of the protest organisers, David Lydall from an organisation called ‘Recreative’, says the bill will empower South Africans to have the same rights as that of actors, performers and creatives like in America. “We are here protesting this Bill because it will empower our people and South Africans, give rights to compete internationally, to have the same rights as that of actors, performers and creatives like in America. It’s a colonial to deny us having these rights. We are here to condemn the embassy to disassociate itself from that organisation that denies us our rights, like their copyrights proxies and in the review, earning uncertainty in our favour.
Congrats to Bonnie, but she like everyone of us would like to know when are you going to ask the President to sign the Copyright Amendment Bill and Performers Protection Amendment Bill?
I know nothing of this .
