- You may reproduce in the press, or communicate in a broadcast, an article on a current economic, political or religious topic published in a newspaper, magazine or similar periodical or in a broadcast, unless that was expressly reserved when it was first published or broadcast; clearly mention the source (s. 15(7)).
- You need not seek permission for the official text of a legislative, administrative or legal work, a political speech or one delivered in judicial proceedings, or news of the day: no copyright subsists in them, though the author of a political speech keeps the exclusive right to publish a collection of such speeches (s. 15(8)).
