The Uganda Performing Right Society (UPRS) has defended its decision to distribute Shs216 million in royalties to musicians and other copyright holders, amidst criticism from Uganda National Musicians Federation president Eddy Kenzo. Kenzo had questioned the amount, stating that it was not sufficient. However, UPRS has maintained that the distribution was fair and transparent, and that the amount was calculated based on the society's revenue and expenses. The controversy has highlighted the ongoing debate about the music industry's revenue distribution and the need for greater transparency and accountability. As the music industry continues to grow and evolve, the issue of royalty distribution is likely to remain a contentious one, with artists and stakeholders pushing for fairer compensation for their work.
