Contexto

The Zambia region became the British protectorates of Barotziland-North-Western Rhodesia and North-Eastern Rhodesia towards the end of the 19th century. These were merged in 1911 to form Northern Rhodesia. Zambia became independent on 24 October 1964.

Zambia has been a member of the Berne Convention since 2 January 1992 and the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed The Copyright and Performance Rights Act, 1994 (Act No. 44 of 1994) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Zambia. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. The law was amended by Act No. 25 of 2010, but the changes were concerned with rules related to handling copyright violations rather than definitions of works and durations.

Artistic works are objects of copyright according to section 8 of the Copyright and Performance Rights Act, 1994. An artistic work is defined under section 2, and includes paintings, drawings and engravings (a); works of sculpture (c); works of architecture (d); and photographs (e). Exclusive right of the copyright owner over these works is guaranteed at section 17.

Section 21(h) of the law provides an exception for "incidental inclusion of a work in an artistic work, audiovisual work, broadcast or cable program," but no freedom of panorama.
