The drafters of the Copyright Amendment Bill (CAB) stated that it is aimed at updating the Copyright Act 98 of 1978 (Copyright Act) to make it more effective for educators, researchers, and people with disabilities and also to ensure that artists “ do not die as paupers due to ineffective protection ”. This latter aspect is also addressed by the Performers’ Protection Amendment Bill (PPAB) which states that it seeks to protect performers’ moral and economic rights, as well as the rights of producers of soundrecordings.
