Fed up with the damage that piracy is doing to the local music industry, Lords Fire Recordz have planned a march against digital piracy, scheduled to happen in Pretoria today. The group would like to see harsher penalties for those guilty of piracy, and is calling on government to do more to combat the trading of illegal music in South Africa.

Lords Fire Recordz (spelt with a ‘z’, so you know it’s legit) plan to hand in a memorandum to the Department of Arts and Culture, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Justice. Rollence Mabula, the owner of LF Recordz, has said that individuals pirating music should be treated as criminals.

The problem lies with our justice system because these people are not treated as criminals. They are criminals because they are stealing something that does not belong to them.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country gets on with the future of music distribution…
