Article 34 makes lawful the reproduction, distribution, and communication to the public of the news of the day, or other information about newsworthy facts and events, once they have already been publicly disseminated by the press or by broadcasting; a paragraph extends this to reproducing and making available, in connection with reporting on a current event, works seen or heard in the course of that event, to the extent justified by the informational purpose.
Article 33 permits reproducing any article, photograph, illustration, or commentary about current events published by the press or broadcast on radio or television, unless expressly prohibited by the rights holder.
Article 35 permits publishing, as current news and without authorization, speeches delivered in deliberative assemblies, judicial debates, or before public authorities, and public conferences, speeches, or sermons whose rights have not been expressly reserved, though such works may not be published in a separate collection without the author's authorization.
