- Instrument type
- an act of a legislature
What it requires

- This permission includes reproducing excerpts from newspapers and magazines for a printed survey.
- You may reproduce articles or publicly transmitted works of similar content on current economic, political, social and religious issues through periodicals or public transmission, unless the author or another copyright holder has specially prohibited it; the author may still publish the work in a collection (Art. 23(c)).
- Neither paragraph carries a headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from its own purpose-limited test, and no reported Georgian decision applies either to a systematic news aggregator.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What this law does
Article 23(a) permits, without the author's consent and without paying royalties but with compulsory acknowledgement of the author and the source, quoting a work available to the public by lawful publication or communication to the public for scientific, research, polemic, critical or information purposes, only to the extent justified by the quotation purpose, including reproduction of excerpts from newspapers and magazines for a printed survey.
Article 23(c) separately permits reproducing articles or publicly transmitted works of similar content on current economic, political, social and religious issues through periodicals or public transmission, unless the author or another copyright holder has specially prohibited such reproduction, while the author retains the right to publish the work in a collection.
Neither paragraph carries a headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from its own purpose-limited test, and no reported Georgian decision applies either paragraph to a systematic news aggregator rather than an individual quoting a published work.
