The Kenya Copyright Board has warned the managers of commercial entities that they could be fined heavily or face jail sentences if they use Kenyans' memes without their permission.
The board says memes that have the faces or identities of Kenyan citizens are the intellectual property of the people pictured or videographed, and before companies use them in adverts or visibility posts, they should seek approval from the owners/authors.
