Ley No. 65-00 sobre Derecho de Autor, arts. 30-32 (Limitaciones y Excepciones al Derecho de Autor)
A citation is an address, not a summary. The first part names the law; what follows narrows it to the exact section, article or paragraph.
In force since 21 August 2000.
A copyright and text and data mining (TDM) rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 5 September 2026.
What it requires
- Do not reproduce or transform a substantial part of a copyrighted work, including for training a model on scraped text, outside the law's quotation, teaching-reproduction, or press-review and news-of-the-day exceptions, without the rights holder's authorization.
- A compilation's or database's own selection or arrangement is protected as a literary work if it is a creative one, but the underlying data or materials are not themselves protected by this law.

Article 30 requires the copyright law's limitations and exceptions to be read restrictively, so as not to conflict with the work's normal exploitation or unjustifiably prejudice the rights holder. Article 31 permits quoting an author by transcribing necessary passages, provided they are not so extensive as to amount to a simulated and substantial reproduction of the work, with the author's name and the work's title cited.
Article 32 permits reprographic reproduction, for teaching or examinations at educational institutions, of lawfully published newspaper or periodical articles or short excerpts of lawfully published works, where the use is not for sale or profit.
Article 2(12) protects a compilation or database's creative selection or arrangement as a literary work, but the same clause expressly withholds that protection from the underlying data or materials themselves, so Dominican law confers a compilation-copyright model rather than a sui generis database right.
