What this law does
Article 24 permits reproducing in the press and communicating to the public, including online, published or publicly disclosed articles on current economic, political, or religious topics, and analogous broadcast works, without the author's permission or remuneration. This use is permitted unless the authors or other rightsholders have prohibited such use, and provided the source and author's name are given in the copies bearing the work or by other means.
A separate point of the same paragraph permits reproducing in newspapers and periodicals, or communicating to the public by any means, political speeches, excerpts from public lectures and similar works, including speeches made in court proceedings, to the extent the purpose of informing the public justifies it. The article's current wording took effect , when Law No. XI-1833 entered into force.
