Mr President, you have your pen, now please sign the Copyright Bill that's been on your desk 12 weeks. Current Act is 46 years old! Bill's genesis was in 2009 - 15 yrs ago! No excuse to delay it any further. The Presidency 🇿🇦 Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 ANC SECRETARY GENERAL | Fikile Mbalula enca.com/top-stories/ra…
It's nearly 12 weeks, Mr President, since the Copyright Bill went to your desk. That's more than a reasonable time for you to consider it & sign it. Please do the right thing. Don't let myths from multinationals dissuade you. Please sign it before 29th May 2024.Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦
Claims that the Copyright Bill will harm South Africa’s creative community, devalue creators’ works & be out of step with international best practice are unsubstantial & misleading. There's no evidence that this happened in any of the 12 countries with fair use. #SignTheBill
