Reuses other publishers' content, in Burkina Faso

Loi n°048-2019/AN, Database and News-Facts Exclusions (Arts. 10 et 22), portant protection de la propriété littéraire et artistique, 12 novembre 2019 · Read the law's page

• Treat a database compiled through the selection or arrangement of its contents as a protected work: do not reproduce all or a substantial part of it without the rights holder's authorization, even for otherwise-permitted private use.
• Rely only on the Law's enumerated exceptions rather than a general fair-use or text-and-data-mining defense when quoting, analyzing, or reproducing a protected work: a short quotation or analysis, a press review, or current-events reporting, each requiring clear credit to the author and source, and none framed as covering AI training.

Loi n°048-2019/AN, Press Review and Current-Events Exception (Art. 23), portant protection de la propriété littéraire et artistique, 12 novembre 2019 · Read the law's page

• You need not seek permission to use the news of the day, mere facts and data, or official legislative, administrative or judicial texts and their official translations; they are excluded from copyright protection outright.
• Once a work has been lawfully disclosed, you may make short critical, polemical, pedagogical, scientific or informational quotations and analyses and compile press reviews, if you clearly credit the author's name and the source.
• For current-events informational purposes you may reproduce or broadcast, even in full and in original or translated form, current political, social, economic or religious news articles and public speeches delivered before political, administrative, judicial or academic assemblies, crediting the author and source, unless the exploitation rights have been expressly reserved.
• Do not assume this reaches a systematic aggregator's reproduction of headlines and snippets: no reported Burkinabe decision has tested it beyond a traditional press review or a broadcaster's current-events report.
