    "content": "I am therefore very excited to note that the Bill has given clear guidelines and a framework on how to protect artists from the piracy in the industry. I am also very excited because the Bill seeks to promote fair dealing. We have had a lot of tussles; we have seen a lot of demonstrations in our City of Nairobi, where artists have been demonstrating that there are certain categories of corporate clients who have not been honouring their pledges in terms of what is supposed to be paid to them. So, the aspect of promotion of fair dealing in the media and education industry when it comes to production and control of such materials serves as guiding principle of operations in that sector. I am also very excited about the resale rights that have been defined in the Bill. What has been provided in the Amendment Bill has actually defined what is supposed to be done for resale and what is to be done when it is not for resale. The aspect of streamlining payments of royalties is a factor that will greatly benefit our actors, creative artists, performers, artists and designers. This streamlining is going to guide on who is supposed to be paid what and for what period. This has been defined very well in the amendments."
