AfghanistanCopyright Law, Public Broadcasting of Work Exception
Law Supporting the Rights of Authors Composers, Artists and Researchers (Copyright Law), 2008 (Decree No. 54), art. 42 (Public Broadcasting of Work)
In force.
A snippet reproduction rule binding public and private bodies.
- Instrument type
- an act of a legislature
What it requires
- If you are the press or another information medium, you may publish speeches, lectures, legal proceedings or similar works displayed openly to the public without the author's authorization, provided you clearly indicate the author's name.
- Do not treat this as a general press-review or quotation exception: it reaches only material already displayed openly to the public, not a competitor publisher's own news reporting.
- Do not rely on the personal-use exception for systematic, publicly distributed reproduction: it lets a natural person reproduce a published work, including all or part of a database digitally, only for that person's own personal use.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
In the frameworks
- NIST AI RMF
- MAP 4.1Approaches for mapping AI technology and legal risks of its components – including the use of third-party data or software – are in place, followed, and documented, as are risks of infringement of a third party’s intellectual property or other rights.
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 42 lets the press or other information media publish, without the author's authorization, speeches, lectures, legal proceedings, or similar works displayed openly to the public, provided the author's name is clearly indicated; the provision is narrower than a general press-review or quotation exception because it reaches only material already displayed openly to the public, such as a public address or a court proceeding, rather than a competitor publisher's own news reporting.
Article 8 excludes from protection any work that is in contradiction with the provisions of the Law, and denies protection to the copyright in preexisting material embedded in a derivative work, but it does not separately exclude facts or the news of the day the way some neighbouring statutes do.
Article 39(1) permits a natural person to reproduce a published work, including reproducing all or part of a database digitally, without the author's authorization, but only for that person's own personal use, so this exception does not reach an aggregator's systematic, publicly distributed reproduction. Article 49 ties the Law's entry into force to its publication in the Official Gazette.
The Ministry of Justice's contents list for the Official Gazette records the Law in issue No. 956, published on 1387/05/05 in the Afghan solar calendar. No Gregorian date for that publication has been located.
