In force.

A snippet reproduction rule binding private bodies.

What it requires

  • You may, without paying remuneration and to the extent the purpose of information justifies, reproduce works seen or heard in the course of reporting a current event, and prepare and reproduce summaries of disclosed newspaper and similar articles in the form of press reviews (Article 50).
  • You may use political speeches and extracts from public lectures or similar works to the same extent, but the author keeps the exclusive right to compile them into a collection, so do not publish such a collection (Article 50).
  • You may use quotations of a disclosed work in another work for criticism, recognition or reference, provided the quotation accords with fair practice and does not exceed the extent the purpose requires (Article 53).

Article 50 permits, without acquiring the corresponding economic right or paying remuneration and to the extent justified by the purpose of information, reproducing works seen or heard in the course of reporting a current event, preparing and reproducing summaries of disclosed newspaper and similar articles in the form of press reviews, and using political speeches and extracts from public lectures or similar works, though the author retains the exclusive right to compile such speeches or extracts into a collection.

Article 53 separately permits using quotations of a disclosed work in another work for the purpose of criticism, recognition, or reference, provided the quotation accords with fair practice and does not exceed the extent the purpose requires.

Neither provision states a headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from the purpose-justified and fair-practice tests, and no reported Montenegrin decision applies either provision to a systematic news aggregator rather than an individual user quoting or summarising a published work. The Act was published in Official Gazette of Montenegro No. 37/2011 of .

Its Article 209 provides that it enters into force on the eighth day from the day of its publication, and no notice stating the resulting day has been located.
