Loi n°2000/011 du 19 décembre 2000, art. 29, 30, 31
In force.
A snippet reproduction rule binding private bodies.
What it requires
- You may make analyses, press reviews and short quotations justified by the critical, pedagogical, scientific or informational character of a work published with the author's authorization, if you indicate the source and the author's name where it appears in the source.
- You may reproduce and make accessible to the public, for informational purposes and in short excerpts, literary or artistic works seen, heard or recorded in the course of a current event, by photography, broadcast or another means of public communication, on the occasion of reporting that event.
- If you are the press or a broadcaster, you may reproduce, in original or translation, political, social, economic or religious current-affairs articles, political speeches, speeches delivered in judicial proceedings, and sermons, conferences and addresses of the same nature, clearly indicating the source and the author's name.
- Do not rely on that press permission where the author or copyright owner has expressly reserved the right of exploitation.
- Do not assume these articles reach a systematic aggregator: no provision addresses hyperlinking, framing or inline display, and no reported case law applies them to an aggregator rather than a traditional press or broadcast outlet.
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
Who enforces it
Settledness
- As of
- Open questions
- How short must an extract be to count as one of 'les courtes citations justifiées par le caractère critique, pédagogique, scientifique ou d’information de l’œuvre' under article 29(1)(d), and does an automated news aggregator that displays headlines and extracts fall within 'les revues de presse'?
What this law does
Loi n°2000/011 du 19 décembre 2000 relative au droit d'auteur et aux droits voisins permits, once a work has been published with the author's authorization, analyses, press reviews, and short quotations justified by the critical, pedagogical, scientific, or informational character of the work, provided the source and the author's name (where it appears in the source) are indicated (article 29(1)(d)).
It separately permits reproducing and making accessible to the public, for informational purposes and in short excerpts, literary or artistic works seen, heard, or recorded in the course of a current event, by photography, broadcast, or another means of public communication, on the occasion of reporting that event (article 30).
It further permits the press or a broadcaster to reproduce, in original version or in translation, political, social, economic, or religious current-affairs articles, political speeches, speeches delivered in judicial proceedings, and sermons, conferences, and addresses of the same nature, unless the right of exploitation has been expressly reserved by the author or the copyright owner, always subject to clearly indicating the source and the author's name (article 31).
Neighbouring rights under the law protect only performers, producers of sound and video recordings, and audiovisual-communication enterprises, so a print or online news publisher holds no neighbouring right distinct from its ordinary copyright in the articles it publishes. No provision addresses hyperlinking, framing, or inline display, and no reported case law applies articles 29, 30, or 31 to a systematic aggregator rather than a traditional press or broadcast outlet.
Loi n° 2000/011 is dated . Its last article, article 97, orders that the law be registered and published by the urgent procedure and then inserted in the Journal officiel. The law's final articles state no day of its own for its entry into force. Under article 4 of Ordonnance n° 72-11 du 26 août 1972, a law published by the urgent procedure is brought to the population's knowledge by all means, notably radio, and is executory immediately.
No record of the day on which the law was communicated under that procedure, and no issue of the Journal officiel carrying it, has been located.
