What this law does
Article 43(c) of the Copyright Law excepts, from copyright infringement, taking actual (current) news, in whole or in part, from a news agency, broadcasting institution, newspaper, or similar source, on condition that the source is cited in full.
Article 43(d) separately excepts producing and disseminating copyrighted content through information and communication technology media where the activity is non-commercial, benefits the creator or a related party, or the creator has stated no objection to it. Neither clause is limited to a particular industry or medium, and no reported Indonesian decision applies either to a systematic news aggregator rather than an individual taking or quoting a published work.
