What this law does

Article 24 of Ley No. 1322, in the Título VI chapter on limitations to copyright, permits quoting an author, meaning the inclusion in one's own work of short fragments of others' works, provided the quoted work has already been divulged, its source and author are credited, and the inclusion is made as a citation or for its analysis, commentary, or critical judgment, for teaching or research purposes, in accordance with honest practices and to the extent the pursued purpose justifies, without becoming abusive.
The neighbouring articles in the same chapter, 25 and 26, address a state compulsory-use power over works of great cultural value after a period out of print and heirs' inability to block republication after five years of inaction, neither of which reaches news reproduction or aggregation.
The Law contains no separate press-publisher neighbouring right, no compelled platform-to-publisher bargaining regime, no recognized hot-news or misappropriation doctrine distinct from ordinary copyright law, and no located case law on hyperlinking or framed display; whether article 24's quotation exception reaches a systematic aggregator's reproduction of headlines and snippets, rather than quotation for the teaching, research, analysis, or critical-commentary purposes the article names, has not been tested in a reported Bolivian decision.
