@CanaryMugume I know Dr Joel Isabirye for being knowledgeable, but he also lies at times.

BTW there was a time when the federation told Hilderman that they can’t join him to seek the copyright law amendment because he’s opposition. Naye abaana abo!

@AnneAlanSizomu @Rita_Arinaitwe God knows I’ve tried but it’s like every place you go to somehow has shisha….
English
@Rita_Arinaitwe Find places where shisha is not sold or normalised.
English
The Shisha passive smoke went from making me sneeze to giving me nosebleeds 😭Safe to say my nightlife era has officially retired. 😊🙏🏽
From now on, it’s fine dining invites only 🥹

@YkeeBenda It’s called timing, no one wanted amendments of the law in 2014, so there was absolutely no need to end up in parliament. Those years, the artists took their pleas to the places that could be of help, the police. In 2023, they needed amendments
English
@mayigandre When you take a statement literally, this is the reply you come up with, one or 2 artists being away of something and having an entire body take it to parliament can’t be the same thing .
Jesus 🙌🏻 lol

“Ten years ago no one was talking about Copyright…..”. I can only imagine it’s been so called under the rock Ykee was sleeping at.
Copyright was actually a topic 12 years ago, Maurice Kirya and Kaweesa won cases against telecom giants….. what are you even saying.
YKEE BENDA@YkeeBenda
THE COPYRIGHT LAW; The beauty about a bill turning into a law is wether you have understood it or not it can protect you the same way it can leave you vulnerable, many people are taking so much Joy in knowing law terminology than the actual artists like it’s a scoreboard, The reality is actually beautiful 10 years ago, no one was talking about copyright, 5 years ago it was just noise , not once was there a proper artist leadership trying to get government to listen more keenly 2 years ago they told us we are a joke after the formation of the Federation , today parliament passed the bill awaiting the presidents sign off. There’s a pattern here fellow artists, it doesn’t matter what we accomplish together, they will not stop trying to put us down, now it’s our English is embarrassing, OUR TODAY IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN IT WAS 10 YEARS AGO The rest is background noise, keep learning, stick together and let’s fight for our business ✊🏼

@MartinKabagamb1 @richie_aba @Jude_Mugabi @bendizhodouglas Cinemas this side of the world are simply sustained. It’s only a few times that they make money. For instance Black Panther

English
Cinemas are really hard to run and harder in poor countries like Uganda & Rwanda.
For context, these were the numbers we had for the last quarter of last year. Usually the busiest quarter. For 15 screens we have in Uganda, that would be about 17 people per day per screen.

Today I learned that Rwanda has no cinema. 🫡

@JackieAkampwera @rkabushenga @Kasuku256 Bukedde made VJs mainstream, not so much for local content.
English
Bukedde was hot cake! That’s a fact!
I can’t believe we don’t appreciate the team for making way for local content especially in our local language to Main Stream Media!
I enjoyed watching @Kasuku256 Live with @rkabushenga!

@Spartakussug @serugo To answer you: Spotify started a playlist culture after famous artists started asking for more money. They created playlists where they boosted artists no one knew existed and playlisted their music heavily. By doing that, Spotify was making more money from artists no one knew.
English
With the new copyright bill in Uganda, how much are these artistes going to earn after writers, composers, publishers, lawyers each take their cut?
The market can’t carry that entire value chain.
And of course AI will produce royalty free music for bands and bars and lifts!
English
@Spartakussug @serugo Artists are pushing the bill but secretly erasing the writers and producers who must also earn from these royalties.
English
When we tell you that mediocrity is a big part of Uganda’s DNA….. it’s a sport, it’s an art genre, it’s an acquired taste….
And you can’t expect a society to develop beyond its people’s expectations.

Chuck Norris, his name had literally become a meme of bravery and it seems even in death, people are carrying the joke forward.
English
@GabrielBuule @kyeyuneelly @martinssempa Whatever, I feel like the pastor’s name and the activity have moved hand in hand for way too long. I don’t think he can beat the allegations.
English
So the Pastor allegedly shared "gay" sex videos to boys! @martinssempa is this Kayanja case real or malice? Where the boys minors? Was the alleged sex consensual or forced. Will they get justice? Kamunguluze anuma😇

Rest in Peace Chuck Norris!!! I doubt there is a Ugandan who hasn’t watched a movie by him. #RIPChuckNorris Taliyo!!!

@Malowbar I literally watched all these episodes after finding this on the internet. The group he wanted to join didn’t even take off for real….. like non of them even got solo success.

@Balikuddem75103 @nbstv @pallasomusic No, Jay-Z is only local while in New York. It’s the united 50 states of America, most of these states are bigger than East Africa. Being known in all the 50 states within America is considered international. That’s why they tour America and call it a world tour.
English
.@pallasomusic: I'm local here just like Jay Z is local in America but international everywhere.
#NBSFrontline #NBSUpdates
English
America is a big economy that some of the music that crosses and makes waves in Uganda has not even penetrated some of America’s 50 states. In America being local is being known only in your state. Like your music is not known beyond California..
