Badru, is there intention of you making money out of this archiving project? I posted an extract from the Copyright and Neighbourig Rights Act of 2006, Act 19. I'll post an extract from it again..... *7. Public benefit works not protected. (1) The right to protection of copyrights under this Act shall not extend to the following works—* ... ... ... *(d) news of the day namely reports of fresh events or current information by the media whether published in a written form, broadcast, internet or communicated to the public by any other means. *You may get Badru on the archiving of someones music in a particular broadcast, and charging for one listening to it, but as far as Uganda's laws are concerned, there is no copyright issue with Badru's archiving any radio stations broadcast. The law is subject to ones interpretation and application to a given scenario. Again, Badru, are there intentions on you charging for someone to listen to Alicia keys as played by Sanyu FM on one Sunday afternoon? There are some conclusions that people have drawn over the initial post by you. I am an open source developer of many years, so copyright is very > important to me.
