Royal Decree No. 65/2008, Arts. 4, 20(4) · Read the law's page
- You need not obtain permission to use ideas, procedures, working methods, data, official documents, or news of the day and current events that are mere journalistic information: article 4 excludes them from copyright protection.
- Treat a compilation or arrangement of that excluded material, and any creation or intellectual effort behind it, as protected where it is itself distinguished (art. 4).
- If you are the press, you may reproduce, broadcast or make available to the public portions of articles published in newspapers or periodicals on current economic, political or religious topics, and broadcast works of the same character, unless the right owner expressly reserved that right at the time of publication (art. 20(4)).
