[Independent (Kampala)] One afternoon, while flipping through local Free-to-Air channels, I stumbled upon something unsettling--a Hollywood blockbuster, fresh from its Box Office release, airing on a local TV station. This wasn't a licensed pay-tv network or an exclusive streaming deal; it was piracy in broad daylight. In that moment, the gravity of the issue became clear. Piracy has infiltrated mainstream broadcasting, quietly eroding Uganda's creative economy.
