Legalbrief Africa [Uganda], publication date: 19 June 2006

The Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act 2006, which requires only presidential assent to come into force, makes infringement on copyrighted works a criminal and a civil offence. In terms of its predecessor, infringement was a civil offence only."
