NorwayCopyright Act, Quotation and Current-Event Reproduction Exceptions
In force since .
A snippet reproduction rule binding public and private bodies.
What it requires
- You may quote from a published work in accordance with proper usage and to the extent required for the purpose; no headline-length or short-extract cap applies beyond that test (s. 29).
- You may reproduce a work that forms part of a current event in media coverage of that event, on the same terms: in accordance with proper usage and to the extent the purpose requires (s. 36).
- Pay remuneration if you reproduce a published work of art, photograph or film connected to, but not part of, the event; you may do so on the same terms, and no remuneration is due where the work was created in the course of trade for the purpose of reproduction in the media (s. 36).
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What this law does
Section 29 permits quotation from a published work in accordance with proper usage and to the extent required for the purpose, with no headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from that fair-practice test. Section 36 permits a work that forms part of a current event to be reproduced in media coverage of that event on the same fair-practice, purpose-justified terms.
It also permits a published work of art, photograph or film connected to but not part of the event to be reproduced on the same terms against remuneration, except where the work was created in the course of trade for the purpose of reproduction in the media.
