A press publication's publisher, established in Poland or in an EU or EFTA/EEA state, holds the exclusive right to reproduce the publication for online use and to make it available online, without prejudice to the underlying authors' and other rightsholders' own rights, per Article 99(7). The right does not reach an individual's private, non-commercial use, a hyperlink to the publication, or single words or very short extracts of it, per Article 99(7)(3).

The right lasts two years from the calendar year following the publication's first dissemination, per Article 99(8). Authors of works contained in the publication are entitled to 50 percent of the remuneration due to the publisher for exercising the right, paid within 30 days of the publisher's own receipt, per Article 99(9).

Where the publisher and a service provider fail to agree remuneration within three months of an offer to contract, either side may apply to the President of the Office of Electronic Communications for mediation, per Article 99(12).
