What it requires
- If you operate a newspaper or periodical, you may reproduce, broadcast or otherwise communicate to the public a published newspaper or periodical article, or a broadcast work of the same character, on current economic, political or religious topics without the copyright owner's authorization.
- Indicate the source and, as far as practicable, the author's name when you do so, and do not rely on this permission where the author has expressly reserved the right to authorize such reproduction.
- You may reproduce short excerpts of a work seen or heard during a current event, but only for the purpose of reporting that event and only to the extent justified by that purpose; there is no separate headline-length or short-extract cap.
- If you operate a newspaper or periodical, you may also reproduce a political speech, lecture, address or similar work delivered in public.
- You need not seek permission to use mere facts and data, or official legislative, administrative or judicial texts, which are excluded from copyright protection outright.

Our reading of where this law's duties sit in each framework. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law
What this law does
Article 11 permits a newspaper or periodical, without the copyright owner's authorization, to reproduce, broadcast, or otherwise communicate to the public a published newspaper or periodical article, or a broadcast work of the same character, on current economic, political, or religious topics, provided the source and, as far as practicable, the author's name are indicated; this permission does not apply where the author has expressly reserved the right to authorize such reproduction.
The same article separately permits reproducing short excerpts of a work seen or heard during a current event, for the purpose of reporting that event and to the extent justified by that purpose, and permits a newspaper or periodical to reproduce a political speech, lecture, address, or similar work delivered in public. The exception carries no headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from the extent-justified-by-purpose test.
Article 4 separately excludes mere facts and data, and any official legislative, administrative, or judicial text, from copyright protection outright, so a bare fact or news item is never a protected work regardless of who reports it first.
