- Authors
Makulilo, Alex B.
- Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse copyright issues arising from the use of musical works as cellphone ringtones in the Tanzanian music industry.The point of departure for discussion is the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act, Cap. 218 R.E 2002.The author argues that business practice does not correspond to the provisions of this Act in the context of cellphone ringtones. As a result, Tanzanian artistes and the government lose revenue.
