What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

A press publication's publisher holds the exclusive right to permit or prohibit an information society service provider's direct or indirect, temporary or permanent, partial or complete online reproduction of the press publication, and its making available to the public in a manner that lets people access it at a place and time individually chosen by them, per Section 73-2(1).

The right does not reach private, non-commercial use by an individual user, hyperlinking, or the use of single words or very short extracts from a press publication, per Section 73-2(3). The publisher's rights subsist for two years from the publication's publication date, per Section 74(1-1). Authors of works within the press publication are entitled to an appropriate share of the revenue the publisher receives from information society service providers for its use, per Section 73-2(5).
