Reuses other publishers' content, in Benin

Loi n°2005-30 du 05 avril 2006, Exception de Reproduction de Presse et d'Actualité, relative à la protection du droit d'auteur et des droits voisins · Read the law's page

• You need not seek permission to use the news of the day, ideas, procedures, systems, methods, concepts, principles, discoveries or bare data, or official legislative, administrative or judicial texts and their official translations; they are excluded from copyright protection outright.
• If you are the press, broadcasting or television, you may reproduce for informational purposes political, economic or socio-cultural articles, and public speeches at political, judicial, administrative or religious assemblies, public political gatherings and official ceremonies, naming the author and source.
• Do not rely on that permission where the copyright holder has expressly reserved the reproduction right.
• When covering a current event as a photographer, filmmaker or sound or visual broadcaster, you may record, reproduce and communicate to the public the literary works encountered in the coverage, to the extent justified by the informational purpose.
• Do not assume these exceptions reach a systematic aggregator's reproduction of headlines and snippets: no reported Beninese decision has tested it beyond a traditional press outlet's own reporting.
