Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture, Hon. Olivia Grange, has encouraged Jamaican songwriters to register their work with the Jamaica Association of Composers, Authors and Publishers Limited (JACAP).
"How many of you are in a position, after you write a song and its recorded, to go to the record shops all over the world to check if somebody has used that song and you are not getting royalties? How many of you are able to do that?" she asked.
