It's inspiring to see such a proactive approach to empowering artists and musicians across Africa through this exclusive event. The collaboration between leading copyright organizations is crucial for fostering a supportive environment where creators can thrive. At British Book Publishers UK, we understand the importance of copyright and intellectual property in the publishing industry. Just as this event aims to educate musicians about their rights and the legal frameworks that protect their work, we are equally committed to supporting authors in navigating the complexities of book publishing.
