Ugandan artist Pallaso has joined the push for better copyright protections, boldly claiming he would be a billionaire today if Uganda’s laws were properly updated and enforced.
In a social media post, he spotlighted his popular birthday song, stating it alone could fund a private jet. ‘See you in Parliament tomorrow,’ he added, signaling his support for the ongoing discussions.
His remarks align with the heated debate over the Copyright Amendment Bill in Uganda’s Parliament. Musicians are advocating for royalties from plays on radio, TV, and other platforms to secure fair pay and boost their careers.
This push comes as the creative sector seeks reforms to safeguard artists’ earnings and livelihoods.
