Strengthen anti-piracy law - Franco urges Govt

Franco said that although he has been impressed with the sales of his new release he believes he could have raked in a lot more money if it were not for piracy saying he recently caught some Zimbabweans in Jwaneng selling pirated copies of his latest CD. Others were also caught in Maun.

"Hardly a month after I released this album already people are selling fake copies of it. The painful thing is that these people are only charged P200 admission of guilty and head straight back to make more. They are saying someone could be charged as much as P10 000 if it is discovered that he or she has a machine for reproducing those fake CDs, but the Zimbabweans just make them back home and bring them here to sell," Franco charged.
