Peruvian Actors Revolt: New Law Threatens to Eliminate Royalties

Peruvian Actors Protest New Law Threatening Royalties Peru's artistic community is up in arms over a proposed law that would eliminate the right of artists to collect royalties. The bill, which passed unanimously in the Culture Committee of the Peruvian Congress, has been labeled a "mamarracho" (a ridiculous thing) by many artists. The video from Sol TV Peru highlights the concerns of actors and actresses who fear this will severely impact their livelihoods. "Imagine a day when your voice and your image don't belong to you," says one actress featured in the video. This sentiment is echoed by many others who express concern about the potential for exploitation and the devaluation of artistic work. The video shows several prominent actors and actresses expressing their outrage and calling for the bill to be rejected. Social media has become a key battleground in this protest, with actors and actresses using their platforms to reach a wider audience and garner support. The outcome of the final vote remains uncertain, but the controversy has already sparked a crucial conversation about fair compensation and the rights of artists in Peru.
