Just a thought
Linux advocates should be the strongest proponents for the upcomming copyrights bill in Uganda and make sure it has the stiffest penalties immaginable under law for violations.
As soon as that law passes two things will happen,
Microsoft will run in here and audit the government, schools, companies under our own law and claim hundrends of millions of dollars in licence fees.
The increased costs will be passed onto the consumer
The alternatives will then emerge strong and enboldened.
So make sure your MP passes a strong copyright bill
