Ssekabanja started making shoes two years ago because no shop could make a shoe that could fit him. While at a party he met another bigfooted person who asked him where he imported his shoe from. This gave Ssekabanja the idea to start an actual shoe company. The rest is history. His company is now big. He sells the best bigfoot shoes at the lowest prices, but he has still failed to get a ‘really’ good name for the shoes that he sells. Last month, someone suggested that Ssekabanja should start making shoe polish too. This was also an instant success Afterall, it kept the shoes shinning longer and was 3 times cheaper than all the other types. He then shared some shoe polish samples for the people in uptown Kampala, but no one bought the shoe polish ‘mbu’ for them they use ‘labels’ and ‘brands. WHY ARE L

HOW MUCH OF SOMEONE’S WORK CAN YOU CHANGE TO MAKE IT A NEW WORK OF ART ?.

#iip_updates . #Information_is_Power . #we_inform_the_uninformed . Musiizi has decided to write a new book every month so that he can be recognized a great student even after dropping out of the class because things were very hard to understand. What he has done is to get the writing of other students who he studied with and on every start of a chapter he add the words “Indeed” and at the last paragraph of the chapter he adds “therefore”. Do all these ‘new writings’ qualify as new creations and works? WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? By law, you are allowed to get a work of art, or publication and make something new based on it as long as you have got permission from the owner of the original work. This is called a derivative work. However, for your ‘new’ creation to qualify as derivative work deserving of legal protection, there must be enough change to the original work. For example if Musiizi’s new books were translated so that a person who is blind can be able to read, he could get legal

Evil Plans Against Innocent People Will Never be in Vain, It Will Backfire.

This day 11-May marks exactly one year when the conspiracy team last year 2022 executed the meeting for their theory of evil plot. In a conspiracy theory, the attack is planned on one or two people but perhaps the ploy is planned exactly like how dictatorial situations like that of; 1. Adolf Hitler who ruled German with an iron hand from 1933 to 1945 before his excessive evils committed against the innocent people surpassed his conscience and he eventually committed suicide to avoid shame of allowing greed to betray his conscience to rise against humanity. 2. Napoleon Bonaparte from Belgium who was deployed to colonize DRC Congo by then Zaire but instead ended up plundering the country by profiteering from its rich mineral resources because greed equally made him to take advantage of the ignorant  Congolese by robbing them of their resources. Usually in such operations, few are targeted to fall a victim to conspiracy theories but in reality, a whole group is targeted fo

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

WHAT DOES “COPYRIGHT” MEAN ?.

Copyright refers to the undivided rights a person has to their work to do with it as they want, which includes giving other people permission to use their work. This protects original works like books, music, and art. It means others can’t copy or use your work without your permission. Copyright protection starts as soon as the work is recorded in material form, as there is no need to register it. Before giving copyright protection, the law considers the following things: 1 . the work should be original and not copied from another person. If someone writes a poem, you cannot turn their poem into a song and claim that it is original work 2. It must be an expression of an idea, as the law does not protect ideas. The idea must be reduced to material form. If it is a song, it has to be written down on paper or in sof

Sebaata works for one of the local radio stations. He plays the guitar to make songs that they use for advertising for the clients of the radio station. In fact, the radio station has become very popular because no one else has the ‘bu-songs’ they have and they even want to make these songs caller tunes and ringtones so that they can get some more money from the people who like the songs.  Suupu, Sebata’s friend has told him that he should not suffer and he should demand to benefit from his songs when the radio station sells them as ringtones and caller tunes. However, Sebata’s supervisor Maria has just told him that the songs do not belong to him. Is this true? WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? Intellectual property means the creations that come from people’s minds such as a song, a poem or a book, a work o

A new Android surveillanceware possibly used by the Iranian government has been used to spy on over 300 individuals belonging to minority groups. The malware, dubbed  BouldSpy , has been attributed with moderate confidence to the Law Enforcement Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran ( FARAJA ). Targeted victims include Iranian Kurds, Baluchis, Azeris, and Armenian Christian groups. “The spyware may also have been used in efforts to counter and monitor illegal trafficking activity related to arms, drugs, and alcohol,” Lookout  said , based on exfiltrated data that contained photos of drugs, firearms, and official documents issued by FARAJA. BouldSpy, like other Android malware families, abuses its access to Android’s accessibility services and other intrusive permissions to harvest sensitive dat

Click on this link http://informationispowah.blogspot.com/2023/04/90-people-dead-after-their-pastor-told.html for more. Associated Press. #Information_is_Power  #we_inform_the_uninformed  The death toll at a ranch in Kenya owned by a pastor who is accused of leading a religious cult and ordering his followers to starve themselves in order to “meet Jesus” has reached 90, as the country’s interior minister announced an expanded operation at the site. The new figure came after police exhumed 17 more bodies. The total number of those rescued while starving at the ranch now stands at 34. The Kenya Red Cross Society’s latest figure on the number of missing is 213. Pastor Paul Mackenzie Nthenge, who heads the Good News International church, is accused of luring his followers to the ranch near the coastal town of Malindi. He allegedly told them to fast until death in order to meet Jesus before burying them in shallow graves spread across his land. He was arrested after police raided the
