“Half excited” – King Saha on Uganda’s new copyright bill

• King Saha is cautiously observing Uganda’s new copyright bill and waiting for full regulations after assenting by the President.
• He stresses the importance of awareness and education to ensure all artists benefit.
• The singer urges musicians to stay informed before fully celebrating the law’s rollout.

King Saha has taken a cautious stance amid the excitement surrounding the country’s new copyright bill, urging fellow artists to stay alert as they wait for its full rollout.

While many creatives have celebrated the move, King Saha says he’s taking a more measured approach. He points out that crucial details—like the regulations and enforcement mechanisms—are still unclear.

“I’m waiting on the regulations and clear policies, but for now, I’m half excited until the next steps are announced,” he explained.

The singer stressed that for the reform to truly serve its purpose, it must work for all artists—whether they’re seasoned professionals or just starting out. Proper awareness and education, he said, will be key to making sure no one is left behind.

“The system should help those who know and those who don’t,” he added.

For now, King Saha says he’s sitting back and watching how things unfold, hoping that the final framework will genuinely protect and benefit artists across the board.
