Article 10 of the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Protection Proclamation No. 410/2004 provides that the owner of copyright cannot forbid the reproduction or quotation of a published work. The quotation must be compatible with fair practice and must not exceed the extent justified by the purpose. Where the quotation is taken from a source that carries the author's name, the quotation must name both the source and the author.
Neighbouring rights under the same Proclamation protect only performers, producers of sound recordings, and broadcasting organizations, so a print or online news publisher holds no neighbouring right distinct from its ordinary copyright in the articles it publishes. No provision addresses hyperlinking, framing, or inline display, and no reported case law applies art. 10 to a systematic aggregator rather than an individual quoting a published work.
