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
- Does a headline with a snippet of a given length fall within 'väga lühikeste väljavõtete' in § 73-2 lõige 3 punkt 3 autoriõiguse seaduses, when the statute sets no length?
- Does the training of an LLM-based chatbot on press publications, or the display of their content in its responses, count as 'veebis infoühiskonna teenuse osutaja poolt' reproduction or making available in § 73-2 lõige 1, the questions referred to the Court of Justice in Case C-250/25?
What this law does
A press publication's publisher holds the exclusive right to permit or prohibit an information society service provider's direct or indirect, temporary or permanent, partial or complete online reproduction of the press publication, and its making available to the public in a manner that lets people access it at a place and time individually chosen by them, per Section 73-2(1).
The right does not reach private, non-commercial use by an individual user, hyperlinking, or the use of single words or very short extracts from a press publication, per Section 73-2(3). The publisher's rights subsist for two years from the publication's publication date, per Section 74(1-1). Authors of works within the press publication are entitled to an appropriate share of the revenue the publisher receives from information society service providers for its use, per Section 73-2(5).
