This paper's main purpose is to deepen the general understanding regarding copyright
exceptions and limitations as an important balancing tool of copyright law, particularly for
developing countries in Africa. It seeks to address the problematic interplay between
copyright exceptions and limitations on the one hand and technological protection measures
(TPMs) on the other. It then aims to offer a solution for mitigating the potentially detrimental
impact of TPMs on otherwise‐permitted uses of copyright‐protected knowledge materials.
