In force.
A snippet reproduction rule binding public and private bodies.
- Instrument type
- an act of a legislature
What it requires
- You may quote passages from a published work without the author's permission or compensation where the quotation is consistent with fair practice, non-substantial and no longer than the purpose justifies; cite the source and the author's name. This reaches press summaries from newspapers and periodicals (Article 31, second).
- You may transfer or copy newspaper and periodical articles on current topics, or broadcast works of a similar character, without the author's permission, provided you clearly cite the source and the author's name if known (Article 31, seventh).

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
In the frameworks
- NIST AI RMF
- 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. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law
What this law does
Article 31 opens by permitting a third party to use a work in certain special cases without the author's permission or compensation, with no restriction to a private or government actor.
Article 31, second, permits quotation of passages from a published work in another work provided the quotation is consistent with fair practice, non-substantial, extends only as far as the purpose justifies, and cites the source and author's name; the same clause states that this reaches press summaries taken from newspapers and periodicals.
Article 31, seventh, permits transferring or copying newspaper and periodical articles on current topics, or broadcast works of a similar character, without the author's permission, provided the source is clearly cited and the author's name if known.
Article 31, twentieth, permits newspapers, periodicals, and broadcasting entities to publish excerpts from an author's works lawfully made available to the public and his published articles on matters occupying public opinion at a given time, without permission or compensation, provided the source is cited, unless the author prohibited this at the time of publication.
Article 51 directs the ministers to implement the Law and orders its publication in the Official Gazette, and the Law's text states no day on which it comes into force.
