I thank the Chairman for that response. We need to do more in support of our artistes. It is just the other day that we were speaking about the issue of performing artistes, especially musicians. They create content and then it is used as ring back tunes such as the s kiza tunes that we have on our phones. However, the sharing formula is such that the artistes get peanuts while the communications companies get almost three or four times more than what the artistes, who are the content creators, get. As we move forward, this House needs to take this matter of the artistes seriously and do as much as possible to support them. We will be moving forward to bring amendments to the Copyright Act, so that artistes get their fair share when they put in effort."
