ArmeniaCopyright Law, free-use exception for press extracts and quotation
In force since .
A snippet reproduction rule binding public and private bodies.
What it requires
- You may use a lawfully made-public work without the author's consent and without remuneration, but only if you mention the author's name and the work's origin and do not prejudice the normal exploitation of the work or the author's legitimate interests.
- You may quote an extract of a lawfully published work for scientific, research, polemic, critical or informational purposes, including extracts from newspaper and magazine articles in the form of a press summary, to the extent justified by the purpose of the quotation.
- If you are the press or a broadcasting organisation, you may reproduce lawfully published articles on current economic, political, social or religious issues, or broadcast works of the same nature, unless the author has prohibited such use beforehand.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What this law does
Article 22(1) defines free use as use of a lawfully made-public work without the author's consent and without remuneration, conditioned on mentioning the author's name and the work's origin and on not prejudicing the normal exploitation of the work or the author's legitimate interests.
Article 22(2)(a) permits, within that framework, quotation of an extract of a lawfully published work for scientific, research, polemic, critical or informational purposes, including the reproduction of extracts from newspaper and magazine articles in the form of a press summary, to the extent justified by the purpose of the quotation.
Article 22(2)(c) separately permits the press and broadcasting organisations to reproduce lawfully published articles on current economic, political, social or religious issues, or broadcast works of the same nature, unless the author has prohibited such use beforehand. Neither provision carries a headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from the purpose-justified and normal-exploitation limits. Article 73 brings the Law into force on the tenth day following its official publication.
