Other cases are pending in the Seychelles and in Kenya.

Victory TV appealed the judgement, but the Court of Appeal in Kigali subsequently rejected the appeal. In Rwanda in July, a commercial court ordered Victory TV Ltd to suspend unlawful broadcasts of Uefa Champions League and English Premier League football games, to which it did not have the rights. The Supreme Court of the Seychelles in the case of MultiChoice Africa Holdings B.V and SuperSport International (Pty) Ltd v Intelvision Limited found that Intelvision was breaking the law when it broadcast matches from the 2019 African Cup of Nations football tournament, for which it did not have broadcast rights. In Africa, regular raids of piracy operations are conducted across the continent, and major recent court cases signal the turning of the tide against piracy on a commercial scale. In Australia, a man received an 18-month suspended jail term for operating an illegal network that allowed more than 8 000 people to access television broadcasts by the Foxtel subscription service for free. In the UK in 2019, three men who sold illegal English Premier League streams to more than 1 000 pubs, clubs and homes were jailed for a total of 17 years. It was also launched in Zambia earlier this year, championed by the National Arts Council (NAC). The anti-piracy movement has had some significant victories around the world. It was launched in Kenya in 2018, championed by the Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO). It looks to ensure Africa’s creatives earn a living from their talent, freeing them to continue creating relevant, entertaining content that reflects the culture and interests of the continent. PAP is a multi-stakeholder awareness programme to help fight the piracy menace, by educating the public on the unintended consequences of piracy and the threat it poses to livelihoods, and to society.
It harms investor confidence and tax revenue, and can also affect trade opportunities, if we are not seen as a country where intellectual property is respected and protected,” said Mr Chipindi. “Piracy has a serious negative effect on our economy and on the ability of our creative professionals to earn a living. “Our country is determined to clamp down on content piracy, and we are proud to join Partners Against Piracy in this fight,” said Mr Maanka Chipindi, Director at National Arts Council of Zambia (NAC). This seriously threatens the sustainability of Africa’s creative sector. In Africa, it is not just individuals and web start-ups, but also large organisations that share content without paying the licence fees owed to the creators, licence holders and distributors. Major African markets Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa saw a total of around 16 million visits over the same period. PAP works to protect the livelihoods of the thousands of creatives and broadcast professionals and support the local economy.Ĭreative content piracy is rising – particularly since the onset of Covid-19 lockdowns, which forced many people to stay home, resulting in a surge in demand for TV and film entertainment.Īccording to digital platform security specialists Irdeto, there were more than 345 million visits to the top 10 global streaming piracy sites in the three months from June to August 2021. For this reason, National Arts Council of Zambia (NAC) has thrown its weight behind Partners Against Piracy (PAP), an international campaign to fight content piracy. No country looking to build a creative industry can afford to lose this income.
The economic impact on the rest of the world is similarly catastrophic. This huge industry loss – more than the annual gross domestic product of Mozambique, Uganda and Guinea combined – represents the impact on the US entertainment sector alone. DIGITAL video piracy costs the entertainment industry up to $71 billion every year, according to the US Chamber of Commerce’s Global Innovation Policy Centre – harming businesses, destroying lives and livelihoods, and stifling economic growth.
