Preserve member-opinion material from a Southern African music-rights organisation.
97.2% of respondents were in South Africa; this is not a survey of opinion across Africa. The page is dated April 2026; its independent launch date was not verified. The survey includes views supporting AI use. Supplementary check on 11 September 2026: the page lists 18 questions, but no sampling frame, response rate, fieldwork dates, valid response count per question or individual raw responses was found. Open responses are institutional thematic summaries, not verbatim statements by named creators. The legal premise of Q9 was not independently checked against legislation.
