- 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 quotation compatible with fair practice, a press review, or current-events reporting, each requiring source and author credit, and none framed as covering AI training.

Loi n° 1/021, Press Review and Current-Events Exception (Art. 26.2), portant protection du droit d'auteur et des droits voisins, 30 décembre 2005 · Read the law's page
- You need not seek permission to use daily news published, broadcast or communicated in public, mere facts and data, or acts, legal decisions and administrative decisions and their official translations; they are excluded from copyright protection outright.
- Once a work has been lawfully published, you may quote from it in another work, including quotations from newspaper articles and periodicals in the form of press summaries, if the quotation is compatible with fair practice, does not exceed the extent justified by its purpose, and names the source and the author.
- You may reproduce in the press, or communicate to the public, a current economic, political or religious news article published in a newspaper or periodical, or a broadcast of the same character, if you clearly indicate the source.
- Do not do so where the article as published, or the work as broadcast, carried an express condition prohibiting such use.
- Do not assume either exception reaches a systematic aggregator's reproduction of headlines and snippets: no reported Burundian decision has tested it beyond a traditional press review or a broadcaster's current-events report.
