Artistes to deposit their albums with national library

Monday, April 14, 2008

Artistes Cocoa Tea, Anthony Cruz, Tony Rebel and Queen Ifrica will make history tomorrow when they make legal deposits of their respective albums with the National Library of Jamaica (NLJ) 12 East Street, Kingston.

The above-named artistes are complying with the Legal Deposit Act which passed in Jamaica in 2002. This act named the National Library the Principal Legal Depository into which copies of publications of all kinds produced in Jamaica for public distribution, lease or sale must be deposited.

Under the Legal Deposit Act, one copy of all audio-visual materials and two copies of all printed publication must be deposited within a month of publication. Failure to comply with the act is an offence for which a publisher/producer may be fined up to $50,000. The Legal Deposit Act also stipulates that each depositor is entitled to receive a sum equivalent to the production cost of each item deposited.
