Does this mean the Kenyan Telco / ISP has evaded paying the musicians but earned from bandwidth used to download their music? My own observation / opinion is that Telcos (like most organizations) in Kenya do not promote or market ethics in their own sales & marketing departments. This could be the work of a rogue employee. Management may not be using their CRM to keep track of the marketing campaigns going on. On Sep 27, 2012 5:07 AM, "Ali Hussein" <ali@hussein.me.ke> wrote:

There is a clear case of Intermediary Liability here. Especially the Telco/ISP that sent promotional SMSs urging people to download music forlorn WAPKID.
Maybe Victor can help here..
Kioko, keep up the good fight. The issue of piracy is a sticky one and one that puts money in the wrong hands.
