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
What this law does
Article 14 permits, without the copyright owner's consent, a quotation from a published literary work, including a stage work, and a published film work or musical work, where the quotation is made in connection with criticism, science, general presentation, or another recognised purpose, provided it is made within reasonable limits and the material quoted is correctly represented.
The same conditions permit publishing images and drawings of published works of art. The provision carries no headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from this fair-practice test, is not restricted to press or news content. The Act's own consolidated text carries no separate press-publisher neighbouring right and no text-and-data-mining opt-out exception of the kind the EU's Digital Single Market Copyright Directive would add once incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
The Act took effect on . In the current text of Article 14, a phrase of the second paragraph comes from Act No. 9/2006 and the third paragraph from Act No. 9/2016.
