Sebawali and his brother Kembo produced a movie 10 years ago and it was aired on YouTube. They have been receiving money from it since then. Kemba unfortunately was told that he had a deadly disease, and he does not have long to live.  He has been wondering whether his children will continue to benefit from his movie once he is no more. WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? Copyrights protection lasts for the life of the author of the work and 50 years after they pass on. After fifty years, this work belongs to the public and no one can claim ownership. Copyrights are treated as any other form of property, where they are two authors of a piece of work with equal rights, they will both benefit equally. In case one of them passes away, the rights are protected until the death of the co-surviving author and 50 years after. Therefore Sebawali and Kembos children will be in a position to benefit from their work when they pass on as copyrights are treated just like any other property only that there is an expiration date.

By Editor
📸: Gen Abel Kandiho. On 9-December-2021, USA slapped sanctions against the then CMI Commander Gen Abel Kandiho. 📸: Gen Kale Kayihura.

Again on this 4-December-2023, the same USA has slapped sanctions against Uganda Prisons Commander Johnson Byabashaija over alleged torture and human rights abuses in Prisons across Uganda.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...
