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
Section 21 permits, without the author's or copyright owner's authorisation, the reproduction in a newspaper or periodical, or the broadcasting or other communication to the public, of an article published in a newspaper or periodical on current economic, political or religious topics, unless the right to authorise that reproduction, broadcasting or communication is expressly reserved by the author or owner on the copies or in connection with the broadcast, and separately permits reproducing and broadcasting short excerpts of a work seen or heard in reporting current events, to the extent justified by that purpose, in each case subject to indicating the source and the author's name so far as practicable.
Section 18 permits quotation from a lawfully published work compatible with fair practice, but only where used for the purpose of caricature, parody or pastiche.
