Music Copyright Society of Kenya has suffered a blow after the High Court dismissed a case in, which it accused the government of violating its rights by imposing a flat rate tariff on broadcasts of musical works.
The society had accused the Kenya Copyright Board (Kecobo) and the Ministry of ICT of unlawfully interfering with its operations in the guise of exercising oversight, and sought to have the board barred from regulating its activities when collecting and distributing royalties due to musicians.
