Reuses other publishers' content, in Haiti

Décret du 12 octobre 2005, Droit d'Auteur, actualité · Read the law's page

• You may use the news of the day and mere facts or data freely: the Decree excludes them from copyright, as it does official legislative, administrative and judicial texts and their official translations, and ideas, procedures, systems, operating methods, concepts, principles and discoveries.
• Do not rely on a general quotation or press-review exception to reproduce a headline or article text from a protected literary work: the Decree has none.
• Treat a compilation of works, folklore expressions or mere facts or data (such as an encyclopedia, anthology or database) as a protected work where the choice, coordination or arrangement of its contents is an intellectual creation, whether it sits on a machine-exploitable medium or in any other form.
• Do not lean on the Decree's citation exception for short fragments of a performance, phonogram or broadcast used to report a current event when your material is a written news article: it sits in the neighbouring-rights chapter and does not reach one.
