Present at the meeting were leaders and members of all the four Federations of Artists and the Tanzania Musicians Network (TAMUNET), also present were officials from the Ministry  of Industry and Trade. Tanzania Musicians Network will work with Tanzania Film Federation in collecting all the suggestions of the artists together with other Copyright stakeholders and together come up with a workable Copyright policy for presentation to the Government.
