- Open questions
- What makes it 'wyraźnie zastrzeżone, że ich dalsze rozpowszechnianie jest zabronione' under art. 25 ust. 1 pkt 1 lit. b ustawy o prawie autorskim i prawach pokrewnych, and does a robots.txt directive or a notice in a site's terms of use qualify?
- Does 'w prasie' in art. 25 ust. 1, applied online through art. 25 ust. 4, reach a news aggregator that publishes no articles of its own?
What this law does
Article 25 lets the press, radio, and television redistribute, for informational purposes, already-disseminated reports on current events, articles on current political, economic, or religious topics unless expressly reserved against further distribution, current statements and reporters' photographs, short extracts of the reports and articles just named, reviews of disseminated publications and works, and short summaries of disseminated works.
The author is entitled to remuneration for the reproduced articles and reporters' photographs, and the same rules apply to making a work available online in a way that lets anyone access it at a place and time of their own choosing.
Article 29 permits quoting excerpts of disseminated works, and reproducing a disseminated visual, photographic, or other short work in its entirety, within works that form an independent whole, to the extent justified by the purposes of explanation, polemic, critical or scientific analysis, teaching, or the rights of the genre of creativity.
