It also does not reach the use of single words or very short, insignificant extracts that does not harm the publishers' investment, per Article 129 bis(6)(c).

Negotiated authorizations must follow good-faith, due-diligence, transparency and free-competition principles, and disputes go to the Comisión de Propiedad Intelectual rather than a designated bargaining process.
