Burundi sued over photo on 10,000 franc note


afrol News - Burundi sued over photo on 10,000 franc note

The text below, in unusually large letters, informs that "counterfeiters are punished by the penal law." Now, it seems, the Central Bank of Burundi itself may be punishable over copyright infringements, using a photograph by Kelly Fajack of Burundian schoolboys without his approval.
