Common law is very much driven by legal precedent. Looking to see what
similar legal systems have done is a fairly common approach.

That said Kenya allows for up 6 years of jail time for some forms of
copyright infringement (and two for others) so I suggest it is
probably a good idea to take Kenyan law seriously.

Because as of this moment wikipedia has 291,172,469 edits what were
not made under any such term of service and could not have their
copyright situation impacted by such a TOS.
