  • You need not license a news report intended strictly to communicate facts: oral and literary works of that kind are not protected by copyright.
  • You may exploit, within the scope necessary to the report, any work seen or heard in the course of a current event when you report that event by broadcasting, photography, film, newspaper or the internet.
  • You may republish, publicly broadcast or publicly transmit, in a newspaper, magazine or internet transmission, commentary on a current political, economic or social event that has already appeared in a newspaper, magazine or on the internet, unless the original publisher has indicated that republishing is not authorized.
  • You need not pay or register to use these exceptions: neither provision creates a payment obligation or a registration or designation scheme.
