This Is Why Some Kenyan Websites Are Likely To Be Shut Down Any Time From Today

Kenyan artistes have moved to court to seek orders that will compel Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to shut down all websites that encourage piracy of their work.

Piracy has been a major hindrance to the growth and development of artistes in Kenya and now the artistes are seeking the intervention of the High court of Kenya to curb this vice that has proved a stumbling block to their growth.

The artists have already filed a case in court seeking to have all websites that encourage piracy to be shut down by the internet service providers.

Sharing the information on his instagram account, Nonini revealed that they musicians had filed a case in which they are seeking orders aimed at shutting down all websites that encourage piracy on their music.

This is a move that is likely to be welcomed by majority of the Kenyan singers considering that they get very little from their music, thanks to high levels of piracy in the country.
