Tanzania Warning sign

Copyright warning: A subject in this image is protected by copyright.

This image features an artistic work, photographed from a public space in Tanzania. Article 12(6) of the "Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act" (1999) of Tanzania provides for a freedom of panorama, but only for audio-visual and videographic depictions (not photographs!) of works of art and architecture that are "permanently located in a place where these can be viewed by the public." It means that that artistic work cannot be photographed freely for anything other than personal purposes.

Zanzibar, which is part of Tanzania, appears to have a separate copyright law. It does not allow for a free reproduction of works in the public premises, except for the works of folklore that are permanently located in a place visible by the public (Article 29-II). See COM:CRT/Tanzania#Freedom of panorama for more information.

If a copyrighted artistic work is contained in this image and it is a substantial reproduction, this photo cannot be licensed under a free license, and will be deleted. Framing this image to focus on the copyrighted work is also a copyright violation.

Before reusing this content, ensure that you have the right to do so. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you do not infringe someone else's copyrights. See our general disclaimer for more information.

This template is used for the static pictures(that is, all types of photographs including those of jpg format, or the static gif/png/svg). For audio-visual works, usually the file format should be one of the animated gif/png/svg, or the allowable video formats such as ogg or webm, please use {{FoP-Tanzania}} instead (except for Zanzibar).
