Content owners get boost in the proposed anti-piracy law
The State seeks to combat online piracy, particularly illegal streaming of live sports, which is among the key factors increasingly eating into pay-TV companies’ revenues.
Kenya is proposing a legal framework that would allow copyright holders to quickly obtain orders, forcing internet service providers (ISPs), social media platforms and search engines to block access to pirated content.
