Copyright Amendment Bill 2017
Dear Listers, The Copyright (Amendment) Bill 2017 <https://ipkenya.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/copyright__amendment_bill_2017no33.pdf> was recently tabled in Parliament and has already gone through the first reading. The Bill proposes a number of new measures to strengthen the copyright regime. Some of the proposals have a bearing on the protection of computer programs, circumvention of technological protection measures, broadcasts, royalties and their collection, liability and roles of ISPs, procedures for takedown measures, and so on. Kindly have a look at the Bill and share your views given its implication on the ICT sector. You can also read through this article - *Internet Service Providers to be Enlisted in Fight Against Piracy in Kenya <http://blog.cipit.org/2017/11/06/internet-service-providers-to-be-enlisted-in-fight-against-piracy-in-kenya/> - *by M.

There needs to be ways for copyright owners to reduce and/or stop the piracy of their works. One way is to make the content easily available affordably. Another is to work ways to reduce the piracy. The situation at the moment is terrible. Copyright owners are not able to make any money because their works are placed on the internet for free access (and some ISPs benefit from the data consumption).

I see problems: 1: ISPs don't necessarily host websites, some do as an additional business activity, most dont. 2: ISP's do not in principle scan and assess the nature of traffic passing through, their primary role, is to pass data. Effectively, efficiently, reliably. 3: Lastly, IPV6 introduces another complication to this whole equation especially if the ISP made a design decision to execute this network wide. In short, take down requests should be sent to the persons that are able & responsible for this. I hope we do not get into that scenario where a legal notice to intervene is issued to someone who cant / shouldn't intervene because the law was ignorant on this.

Some historical perspective is offered here http://www.techweez.com/2018/02/07/high-court-dismisses-bernsoft-petition/ A legal matter has been brewing in court over copyright issues. The case was taken to the High Court of Kenya where Bernsoft Interactive, a content provider and web services company that is affiliated to Safaricom’s Skiza Tune service, wanted the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to take down content that infringes on copyrights.

In our original court papers, what we asked for was for ISP to block access to piracy websites - Not to take down. We also asked that KECOBO puts in place a law. We have since withdrawn the court case on the strength of the copyright amendment bill 2017.
