We do have a Copyright Act, the penalties were drafted well, but when it comes to implementing, there is a problem. > Those types of charges for us are not a deterrent at all because the pirate will just leave the court and go back and set up shop at the same corner. > If you catch them again they go to court and pay the same $20 and go back again so if the committee could assist us in terms of the implementation of the Act, it will be helpful. The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) reportedly owes ZIMURA $746 439,09 dating back to 2012. Efforts by the musicians to recover the funds have hitherto been unfruitful. *Related:* *ZBC To Launch 24 Hour News Channel* *ZBC Reporter Desmond Duri Dies* *More: Newsday* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
