- Does the mutatis mutandis application of Articles 22-1, 22-2 and 23 to the rights in Article 57-1(1), under Article 57-1(5) of the Copyright Act (Autorių teisių ir gretutinių teisių įstatymas), let an information-society service provider rely on the text-and-data-mining exceptions, including the machine-readable reservation test in Article 22-2(2), against an electronic press publisher?
- Does the training of an LLM-based chatbot on press publications, or the display of their content in its responses, count as reproduction ('atgaminti elektroninį spaudos leidinį ar jo dalį') or making available by an information-society service provider in Article 57-1(1), the questions referred to the Court of Justice in Case C-250/25?
What this law does
Article 57-1 gives an electronic press publisher the exclusive right to permit or prohibit an information-society service provider from reproducing an electronic press publication or part of it, or making it publicly available online. The right does not reach an individual user's private or non-commercial use, a hyperlink, or a publication first published before .
It also does not reach the use of individual words from the publication or an extract of 125 or fewer print characters, not counting the heading and spaces. An electronic press publisher must ensure that the authors of works included in the publication receive an appropriate share of the revenue the publisher earns from an information-society service provider's use. Absent another agreement between the publisher and the author, that revenue is split equally.
