What this law does
Article 44 permits quoting from a lawfully disclosed work without the author's consent or payment, provided the author's name and the source are stated and the quotation follows proper practice and does not exceed what its purpose justifies.
Article 45(a) permits, without authorization, disseminating images or sounds of a work seen or heard in the course of a current event, by sound or audiovisual means, to the extent an informatory purpose justifies, and article 45(b) permits the press or any transmission medium to disseminate, as news of current events, speeches, lectures, addresses, sermons, and similar works delivered in public, to the extent an informatory purpose justifies and without prejudice to the authors' own right to publish those works individually.
Article 45 applies in each case only if the author's name and the source are stated and the reproduction or disclosure has not been expressly reserved. Neither provision carries a headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from this proper-practice and informatory-purpose test, and no reported Peruvian decision applies either provision to a systematic news aggregator rather than an individual quoting or reporting a published work.
