• Applies to information-society service providers, including media-monitoring and press-review businesses, that use press publishers' journalistic publications online (collections of mainly journalistic works under one title and editorial responsibility; purely scientific or academic periodicals are excluded).
• Obtain the press publisher's authorisation before reproducing or communicating to the public its journalistic publication online (the exclusive rights of LDA Articles 13 and 16).
• You need not obtain it for private or non-commercial use by individual users, hyperlinking, or single words or very short extracts (any portion that does not dispense the reader from consulting the article in full).
• Pay the publisher equitable compensation ('equo compenso') for online use, on the criteria in AGCOM's regulation (among them online consultations of the article, the publisher's market relevance and journalists employed, and both parties' investment costs and benefits).
• If no amount is agreed within thirty days of a request to negotiate, expect either side to ask AGCOM to set it (AGCOM decides within sixty days) and, if there is still no contract, to go to the specialised business-law section of the ordinary courts.

• If you provide network access, run a search engine, or provide an information society service involved in any way in making the website or illegal service accessible, execute AGCOM's disabling order without delay and in any case within 30 minutes of its notification, by disabling DNS resolution of the listed domain names and routing of traffic to the listed IP addresses or by other technological and organizational measures that make the content unusable by end users.
• If you provide a VPN service or a publicly available DNS service, wherever you reside or are located, execute AGCOM's disabling orders in the same way.
• If you run a search engine or provide an information society service that is not involved in the accessibility of the site, still take, within the same 30 minutes of notification, all useful technical measures to hinder the visibility of the illegal content, including de-indexing the blocked domain names from search engines.
• If you assign IP addresses, run the registry of the .it country-code domain or register domain names, periodically restore the resolution and routing blocked under Article 2, after at least six months, for those not used for unlawful purposes.
• At AGCOM's request, inform the Rome public prosecutor's office without delay of all the activities you carried out to comply with an order and supply any data you hold that could identify the providers of the unlawfully distributed content.

• The draft treats software as a product, except free and open-source software that you develop or supply outside a commercial activity (Art. 115(2)(d) as proposed).
• If you develop, produce or make a product, software included, or have it designed or made, or present yourself as its manufacturer by putting your name, trade mark or another distinguishing feature on it, you answer as its manufacturer for the damage a defect in it causes (Arts. 115(3)(i) and 116(1)(a) as proposed).
• Keep supplying the software updates and upgrades needed to maintain safety while the product is under your control: a defect due to software, a related service or a missing safety update is not excused because it arose after you placed the product on the market (Art. 118(2) as proposed).
• Meet the product safety requirements that apply to your product, cybersecurity requirements relevant to safety included: they count in deciding whether it is defective (Art. 117(2)(f) as proposed), and failing a mandatory safety requirement meant to protect against the damage suffered presumes it defective (Art. 120(2)(b) as proposed).
• Account for what your product learns or acquires after release: the effect of its ability to keep learning or to acquire new functions is weighed in deciding whether it is defective (Art. 117(2)(c) as proposed).
• Be ready to produce the relevant evidence you hold when a court orders it on a plausible claim: failing to do so presumes the product defective (Arts. 119(1) and 120(2)(a) as proposed).
• If you manufacture outside the Union, the importer, your authorized representative or, failing both, the logistics service provider answers for the product alongside you (Art. 116(1)(c) as proposed).
• If you substantially modify a product outside its original manufacturer's control and then make it available on the market or put it into service, you are treated as its manufacturer (Art. 116(2) as proposed).
• If you distribute a product, or provide an online platform that lets consumers conclude distance contracts with traders, identify the economic operator or your own supplier within one month of the injured person's written request, or you answer for the defective product (Art. 116(3) to (5) as proposed).
• Be able to show that you did not place the product on the market or put it into service, or that it is probable the defect did not exist then (Art. 118(1)(a) and (c) as proposed).
