Copyright Act, 2059, citation and current-information reproduction exceptionssince 2 lines
Copyright Act, 2059 (2002), ss. 17, 20 · Read the law's page
- Citing a small portion of a published work, or reproducing portions of a newspaper or journal to disseminate current information, does not require the author's authorisation so long as the source and author are named and the use is not prejudicial to the author's economic right.
- Nepal has not enacted a text-and-data-mining exception, so training a model on scraped copyrighted text rests only on this general citation and current-information ground.

Copyright Act, 2059 (2002), ss. 3(2), 16(2) · Read the law's page
- Do not reproduce a collection of works, or a data set or database, that is original in its presentation, collection, or expression, without the author's or copyright owner's authorisation; Nepal has no sui generis database right, so protection turns on this originality test rather than on investment alone.
- Do not reproduce a significant portion of a database through digital transmission where doing so would be prejudicial to the economic right of the author or the copyright owner.
