Periodic compilations of press articles presented as citations or press reviews are exempt from authorization, but a compilation that consists essentially of mere reproduction for commercial purposes requires equitable remuneration to the author unless the author expressly objects, per Article 32.1.
Since the 2021 amendment, a content-aggregation service provider that makes press text or text fragments available to the public needs the Article 129 bis authorization from the rights holder, per Article 32.2. A search engine's keyword-search tool is exempt from authorization and remuneration when its display is strictly limited to what is needed for non-commercial search results and includes a link to the source page.
