Copyright Order, 1989 (Order No. 13 of 1989), ss. 5, 9, 11 · Read the law's page

• You may use the news of the day, rules or decisions of courts and administrative bodies, and mere communications of facts and data: section 5 excludes them from copyright, so a factual news report as such is never a protected work.
• You may include quotations from a protected work in another work without consent or payment, including newspaper and periodical quotations in the form of press summaries, if you mention source and author, the quotation is compatible with fair practice and its extent does not exceed what the purpose justifies (section 9(a)(ii)).
• You may reproduce in the press, or communicate to the public, an article from a newspaper or periodical on a current economic, political or religious topic (or a broadcast or cable-distributed work of the same character), unless it carried an express condition prohibiting such use; indicate the source clearly (section 11(c)).
• You may reproduce or make available to the public a work to report a current event, to the extent the informatory purpose justifies (section 11(d)).
• You may reproduce in the press, or communicate to the public, a political speech delivered in public, a speech delivered in legal proceedings, or a public lecture, address or sermon, exclusively for current information; the author keeps the right to publish a collection of such works (section 11(g)).
