Charles Batambuze on Copyright Law in Uganda and the work of URRO

This is perhaps the most extensive and useful conversation we have had regarding the Subject Of Intellectual Property Rights and Protections in Uganda. Charles Batambuze has worked wholeheartedly on the creation of a platform that helps writers and publishers and all those that are part of the value chain to benefit from not just literary works but surprisingly software as well! We had a conversation about culture, and the role of groups such as URRO in the protection of creative people and their works. This year quite a lot of work has gone into a review of some previous laws with a view of having a better enhanced and inclusive law that protects as well as creates additional streams of revenue for artists. Mr. Batambuze is a walking encyclopedia of local legislative landscape on all things regarding the creative sector who insights you will benefit from. We met in the heart of Uganda’s creative industry-The National Theatre.
