What it makes you log
Logging duty
Section 6(1)(b) protects collections of literary and artistic works, including compilations of data or data bases that constitute an intellectual creation by reason of the selection and arrangement of their contents. It imposes no duty to create, keep, produce or review a log or record, names no audit and has no territorial clause of its own.

What this law does
Tanzania has no sui generis database right. A compilation of data or a database is protected as a derivative literary or artistic work only where the selection or arrangement of its contents constitutes an intellectual creation, the same threshold the Act applies to encyclopaedias and anthologies, and that protection is without prejudice to any protection in the underlying, pre-existing data compiled.
