The Copyright Amendment Bill has been passed by the National Assembly and is now sitting with the National Council of Provinces (NCOP), which offered only five days in February for public submissions on the Bill. The NCOP is due to vote on the Bill TODAY (Wednesday 20 March 2019.) The band SATORI SOUTH AFRICA are among many artists that are concerned about the impact of the impending Bill. They say there is a need to update South Africa's outdated Copyright law and as artist they agree with the intentions of bringing copyright law up-to date with the digital age to protect the rights of artists and composers, but that the Bill in its current form is poorly drafted and will ultimately destroy the livelihoods of artist.
