Abstract
In Zambia today the music industry has started to blossom but already many people are disinvesting because of the high levels of piracy. Copyright law is basically the means to combat piracy which is destroying the livelihood of many musicians. One way of ensuring that piracy is reduced is through ensuring that our copyright law is adequate to fight piracy. Since the blossom of Zambia's music industry, the Zambian government has been trying to fight piracy, this is evidenced by the establishment of the Copyright and Performance Rights Act, the copyright registrars office, the anti piracy squads and being a party to various international conventions. However these institutions have not been able to win the fight against piracy. Therefore with our copyright law in place it is hoped that it will help in the fight against piracy, however this can only be achieved by having a strong legislative, administrative and enforcement mechanism in place.
