What it requires

  • You may make analyses and short quotations from a divulged work, and press reviews, without the author's permission where justified by the critical, polemical, pedagogical, scientific or informational character of the work they are incorporated into; clearly indicate the author's name and the source (Article 41).
  • You may disseminate in full or in part, by press or broadcasting and for current-events information, public speeches delivered before political, administrative, judicial or academic assemblies and at public meetings of that character (Article 41).
  • Expect no rule here on a press-publisher neighbouring right, a compelled-bargaining charge, a hot-news doctrine, linking or framing, or a text-and-data-mining reservation: the law says nothing on them.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Article 41 lists what an author of a divulged work may not prohibit once it has been made public, including, on condition that the author's name and the source are clearly indicated, analyses and short quotations justified by the critical, polemical, pedagogical, scientific, or informational character of the work into which they are incorporated, and press reviews.

It also permits, for current-events information, the full or partial dissemination by press or broadcasting of public speeches delivered before political, administrative, judicial, or academic assemblies, and public meetings of a political, administrative, judicial, or academic character.

WIPO Lex lists this 1957 statute as Comoros's current main copyright and related-rights law, with no later Comorian act shown as having replaced it; nothing in the text or in WIPO Lex's record addresses a press-publisher neighbouring right, a compelled-bargaining charge, a hot-news doctrine, linking or framing, or a text-and-data-mining reservation. No record of the day the text this entry describes came into force in the Comoros has been located.

Comoros is also a party to the Bangui Agreement, whose Act of provides that in the member states the Agreement and its Annexes abrogate or prevent the entry into force of contrary provisions and that Annex VII is a minimum normative framework; the Act names no Comorian law, so this 1957 law is read alongside Annex VII rather than as repealed by it.
