  1. Copyright and neighbouring act rights!

    Truley we have sherias, regulations and what what and what.

    But tatizo kubwa ni kwamba zina lugha ya kigeni kama ilivyo mikataba yetu mingi! Kwa hiyo wengine wanashindwa hata kudai haki za kazi zao zinapoibwa kwa kuwa Kidhungu chenyewe wito!

    Au tufuate ushauri wa Ze Komedi wa kugida ngano kwanza ili kidhungu kitiririke vizuri ndo twende kudai haki zetu!?

    Nikuchekeshe kitu kimoja. Katika Chuo cha SAUT kuna utmaduni unaitwa COMPREHENSION yaani kabla hujaitimu Degree yako unakalishwa mbele ya Wahadhiri kadhaa na wanakuuliza unawajibu papo kwa papo kwa kidhungu.

    Sasa kuna Mwanafunzi usiku wa kabla ya hiyo ngwe alikunywa Pombe zake vizuri kwa kusudio maalum. Siku ya ngwe si wahadhiri wakachelewa kuanza zoezi hilo!

    Jamaa, "aaah! Hawa jamaa vipi? Me mning'inio (hang over) wangu unazidi kuisha na sijua kama ntaweza tena kuhojiana nao kwa confidence zote kwani muda unavyozidi kwenda nazidi kuwa mzima kudadadeki!"
