    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended in the Schedule- (b) in the items relating to the Copyright Act, 2001 (No 12 of 2001)- (i) by deleting the amendments proposed to section 30(8) and substituting therefor the words “and performance for private purposes shall include the digital content of artistic works”; (ii) by deleting the amendments proposed to section 30A(1); (iii)by inserting the following row in its proper sequence- The amendment, as proposed, is unconstitutional as it seeks to force our artists, especially musicians’ royalties, to be channelled to entities other than those entities of their choice. We have seen how many of our artists have suffered, especially with the ringtones on our phones. Many songs are being played and our artists end up not benefiting. Therefore, we seek to have this digital content recognized in the Act. That will help our artists in a great way."
