In a country where unorthodox career paths have been looked down on . This Bill only only the negative throughout the country to concur in the opinion that creative measures are merely a phase and can never provide a solid stable future. In a continent of young creatives individuals, bills should be set to propel and broaden opportunities instead of deterioration. I say this as a young adult from a rural village who was never intended to have a stance or opinion . Hope this petition finds you well and changes your will

The industry barely even makes money if their rights are taken away from them to own they own work, it will make it impossible to live for them.

(Bloemfontein, 2019-03-24)

#1565

I don't believe that the new bill holds the interests of creatives at heart. As creatives we work hard to come up with good content, can we just own it and benefit whenever it's used. This will continue to promote creative art, and protect SA's true identity.

(Pretoria, 2019-03-24)
