What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
The summary, quotation or reproduction of passages or parts of a work, and their communication to the public, is free if done for criticism or discussion, within the limits justified by that purpose and provided it does not compete with the work's economic exploitation; if done for teaching or scientific research, the use must also be illustrative in purpose and non-commercial (comma 1).
A summary, quotation or reproduction must always be accompanied by the title of the work, the names of the author, publisher and, for a translation, the translator, where those appear on the reproduced work (comma 3). The current text of Article 70 has been in force since 9 February 2008.
