PREMIUM Is Kecobo favouring Pavrisk in artistes’ royalty collections? Showbiz 23 min ago

The Copyright Tribunal itself, in a judgment last month, found that none of the three CMOs collecting royalties on behalf of artistes—Pavrisk, MCSK and Kamp—was fully compliant with the CMO regulatory framework.

A case in point is its recent dispute with the Kenya Association of Music Producers (Kamp), when Kecobo suspended the organisation’s operational licence despite orders from the Copyright Tribunal, citing the alleged diversion of Sh5.

The Tribunal further found that none of the three CMOs had presented approved royalty distribution rules or evidence of regular distributions.
