Art. 19(1) of the Copyright and Related Rights Law permits, without the author's or other copyright holder's consent and without paying remuneration, but with mandatory indication of the author's name and the source of borrowing, the use of short excerpts in original or in translation as quotations from lawfully published works, including from newspapers and magazines, to the extent justified by the intended purpose, in the form of press reviews for scientific, research, polemical, critical, and informational purposes.
Art. 19(3) separately permits reproducing in newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals, or publicly performing, lawfully published articles on current economic, political, social, or religious issues, or broadcast works of the same nature, except where the author or other copyright owner has prohibited it. Neither clause carries a headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from its own intended-purpose test.
Art. 17.2 excludes the reproduction of databases or a substantial part of one from the Law's separate personal-use free-reproduction allowance, so bulk, systematic reproduction of a database of articles falls outside that narrower allowance.
