North MacedoniaLaw on Copyright and Related Rights, News Reporting and Press Summary Exception
Law on Copyright and Related Rights, OG No. 115/2010, art. 52(1)(6) and (3)
In force.
A snippet reproduction rule binding public and private bodies.
- Private right of action
- No
What it requires
- You may reproduce and publicly communicate articles, notes and similar works on current economic, political, religious and similar topics to inform the public, without permission or payment and within what the purpose justifies, unless the author has specifically prohibited it; credit author and source (Article 52(1)(6)).
- You may publicly communicate, free of charge, the headline of a current-affairs article or similar work taken up in an electronic publication from another electronic publication or source, to inform the public and on the same prohibition and crediting conditions (Article 52(3)); this is not limited to press-industry actors.
- Keep any such use from conflicting with the work's normal exploitation and from unreasonably prejudicing the author's legitimate interests (Article 51).
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 52(1)(6) permits, without the author's permission and without payment, the reproduction and public communication of articles, notes and other similar works on current economic, political, religious and other similar topics, for the purpose of informing the public, to the extent the purpose justifies, unless the author has specifically prohibited this, and provided the author's name and source are credited.
Article 52(3) separately permits, also free of charge and on the same author's-prohibition and crediting conditions, the public communication of the headline of an article, note or similar work on current affairs where it is taken up in an electronic publication from another electronic publication or another source for the purpose of informing the public.
Neither paragraph imposes a length cap on the excerpt beyond the purpose-justified test, and neither is restricted to press-industry actors, so on its own terms it reaches a news aggregator's headline and short-extract reproduction as readily as an individual publisher's. Article 51 conditions all of Part 4's exceptions, this one included, on the use not conflicting with the work's normal exploitation and not unreasonably prejudicing the author's legitimate interests. The sections this entry groups came into force on different days.
