In the frameworks

- 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, and in the NIST AI RMF, line by line beside each duty above. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law

What this law does
Section 82/A defines a press publication as a periodic or regularly updated publication, consisting mainly of journalistic literary works, published under a single title for the purpose of informing the public about news or other topics, on a service provider's initiative, editorial responsibility, and control; a periodical published for scientific purposes does not qualify.
Section 82/B(1) requires the press publication's publisher's consent before it is made available to the public in a way that lets members of the public access it from a place and at a time individually chosen by them, and before it is reproduced electronically for that purpose, where the use is by an information-society service provider.
Section 82/B(2) gives the publisher a right to remuneration for that use, and 82/B(3) obliges the publisher to give the publication's authors an appropriate share of the resulting revenue. Section 82/C exempts a hyperlink to the publication, single words or very short extracts of it, and an individual user's private or non-commercial use. Under Section 111/J(1), the publisher may exercise these exclusive rights only for uses occurring on or after .
The protection lasts two years from the first day of the year after the press publication was first made public, per Section 84(1)(g). The exclusive rights under Section 82/B belong to the publisher for a press publication made public on or after , per Section 111/J(1).
