Law No. 7 of 2002, art. 19 · Read the law's page
- You may reproduce, broadcast or otherwise communicate to the public an article published in a newspaper or periodical on current political, economic, social, cultural or religious topics (or a broadcast work of the same character), clearly indicating the source and the author's name where known (art. 19).
- Do not use that permission where the author has explicitly reserved the right of reproduction or communication to the public; a publisher can withdraw it for its own content by express reservation, and a reproduction outside its conditions is an ordinary infringement (arts. 19, 48).
- You need not obtain permission to use daily news and other news of a mere informatory nature: article 4(2) excludes it from copyright protection altogether.
