  • You may reproduce and distribute by press, or broadcast or cable-communicate, an economic, political or religious article from a newspaper or periodical, or a broadcast work of the same character, unless that right has been expressly reserved; name the source and the author where his name appears there (Article 46(1)).

Article 44 permits using analyses and short quotations lawfully published in another work, without the author's authorization and without payment, on condition of naming the source and the author.

Article 46(1) separately permits reproducing and distributing by press, or broadcasting or cable-communicating to the public, an economic, political, or religious article published in a newspaper or periodical, or a broadcast work of the same character, in cases where the right to reproduce or so communicate it has not been expressly reserved, again on condition of naming the source and the author where the author's name appears there.

Article 115, in the book on related (neighbouring) rights, separately exempts press reviews from the rights it grants to performers, phonogram producers, and broadcasting organisations. The article 46 reproduction exception can be defeated by the rightsholder's express reservation of the reproduction or communication right.
