Consolidating and boosting the collective management system for copyright is vital to the continued enjoyment of the rights arising from artistic production. Expressions of folklore, local costume, crafts and the visual and performing arts need the intellectual property system in order to attain their fullest expression.

The policy cultural also addresses the appreciation of creative intellectual artists and the establishment of principles for the protection of intellectual property as one of the goals to be striven for in Mozambique. Globalization and the introduction of new information and communications technology brings new challenges for the intellectual property system. The new technology makes the reproduction of any work of art easier and more faithful – as a result piracy is being seen throughout the country, by all citizens. Unfortunately, the fact of enjoying a work of art does not prevent its being enjoyed simultaneously by third parties, and the need to enjoy works of art – felt by all citizens – has led to a collective tolerance of piracy.

Zero tolerance must be decreed for piracy, and the means of combating it introduced. With a view to implementing these principles effectively and enabling intellectual property to act as an engine driving the appreciation, safeguarding and promotion of culture and the development of the cultural industry, the following strategic goals should be achieved: 6.6.1. Disseminating the intellectual property system to all sectors of society Lack of knowledge about the intellectual property system and the advantages that may derive from its strategic use is a lost opportunity for the world of culture in Mozambique.
