Message from the President

Creative industries are among the major contributors to the economic growth of a nation and the creation of jobs. These industries represent in average 5.4 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country. Internet, cable, satellite, on demand services and streaming services are beginning to generate significant revenues around the world.

Copyright is a right to stop others from exploiting the work without the consent  of the owner of the copyright holder. The copyright owner has the exclusive right to use or lend the work or to permit others to reproduce or adapt the work for commercial gain. Copyright protects every original work, regardless of its literary or artistic merit. By striking the right balance between the interests of creators and the wider public interest, copyright law aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.

Exploitation of copyright is the process by which creators achieve the market value of their works. Content creators must be sufficiently respected and protected for their creative minds, or they will cease to produce it and be forced to find alternative employment. Lets not be one of them. We are dedicated to enhance the audiovisual industry and promote innovation and establish your rights. Your contribution plays a major economic and cultural role in the society. Our organization aims to set an example and we await to hear from you.
