Managers of internet service providers (ISPs), who fail to expunge copyrighted content that has been illegally posted on their networks could face up to five years in jail if parliament passes a new bill targeting online intellectual property thieves.
ISP providers who continue transmitting such material 48 hours after its legal owner has informed them of the infringement through a formal takedown request, will be liable to a Sh500,000 fine if found guilty of the offence.
