- You need not license bare news: reports of events and facts of an informational character are not protected by copyright.
- You may quote from lawfully published works, in the original or in translation, for scientific, research, polemical, critical and informational purposes, to the extent the purpose justifies, including excerpts from newspaper and magazine articles as press reviews; there is no headline-length or short-extract cap beyond that test.
- You may reproduce in periodicals, or communicate by broadcast or cable, lawfully published newspaper and magazine articles on current economic, political, social or religious topics, or broadcast works of a similar character, unless the author or other rightholder has specifically prohibited it (the prohibition belongs to them, not to a press-industry body).

- This duty binds the possessor of information and the operator of an information system only in cases established by Turkmenistan legislation elsewhere; the Act does not itself name those cases.
- Where the duty is triggered, maintain administrative, technical and organizational measures that: prevent unauthorized access to information and its transfer to a person without a right of access; detect an unauthorized access event in a timely manner; prevent adverse consequences from a breach of the access procedure; prevent disruption of the technical means used to process the information; permit immediate restoration of information altered or destroyed by unauthorized access; and continuously monitor the level of the information's protection.
- A person injured by disclosure or unlawful use of restricted-access information may sue for damages, moral-harm compensation, and protection of honor and dignity; only the claim for compensation of losses is barred if the plaintiff itself took no measures to keep the information confidential or breached the information-protection requirements it was obliged to meet.
