Reuses other publishers' content, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Ordonnance-loi n° 86-033 du 5 avril 1986 portant protection des droits d'auteur et des droits voisins, arts. 24 et 32 · Read the law's page

• You may reproduce quotations or excerpts of protected works for a cultural, scientific, teaching, critical or polemical purpose, if you name the source, the title and the author.
• If you are the written or spoken press, you may reproduce an article published in a newspaper or journal, naming the source, the title and the author, unless the article or the periodical carrying it states that reproduction is forbidden.
• You may freely use news of the day and miscellaneous facts having the character of mere press information, with no attribution condition.
• Treat excerpting as reproduction: the Ordinance defines reproduction broadly, as the material fixation of a work by any process letting it be communicated indirectly to the public, so a service excerpting news content stands on Articles 24 and 32.

• Cooperate in detecting cyberattacks in accordance with the applicable legal and regulatory provisions.
• Inform the Agence Nationale de Cybersécurité of every attack, intrusion or other penetration liable to impair the operation of another information system or network, so as to let the Agency take the measures necessary to address it, including isolating the affected system.
• Comply with the measures the Agence Nationale de Cybersécurité prescribes to put an end to the disruption.
• This binds the operator of an information system, public or private, and more broadly any natural or legal person operating in, or possessing expertise in, the digital sector, without any sector limitation.
• No fixed numerical notification deadline is stated; the duty runs from the operator's own awareness of the attack, intrusion or penetration.

• This binds a digital services provider (fournisseur des services numériques) generally, regardless of the sector in which it operates.
• Implement systems qualified to detect events likely to affect the security of your own information systems; the qualification of the detection systems and of the service providers operating them is delivered by the Ministry responsible for digital affairs, the Agence Nationale de Cybersécurité having been consulted.
• Submit your information system to controls the Agence Nationale de Cybersécurité conducts to verify its security level and its compliance with security rules, at your own cost.
• Expect the Agence Nationale de Cybersécurité to be able to obtain your users' or system holders' identity, postal address and electronic address when their systems are vulnerable, threatened or attacked, so as to alert them.
