After introducing the resolution guaranteeing royalties for artists in parliament, Senator Faisal Javed Khan recently took to Twitter to announce that it had been passed unanimously by the Senate. Faisal wrote in a tweet alongside an article announcing his intention of introducing the resolution, “Congratulations, as the resolution has been passed by the Senate Pakistan unanimously today. Appreciate the support from all the members of the house.” Royalties are payments made to artists when a project that they have worked on gets a re-run or reused in any way.
