The management of copyright in Kenya requires a lot of work and investment. The average Kenyan musician is poor and cannot live off his talent.

On May 27, the Kenya Copyright Board (Kecobo) tweeted that it would resume charging for copyright registration on July 1. This is a timely reminder to take advantage of the free copyright registration window that ends on June 30.

The charges are based on the legal person applying: Natural persons and corporate entities. A natural person is an individual. Corporate entity refers to limited liability companies, associations and registered business names. The charge is Sh100 per work for the former and Sh500 for the latter.
