What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Article 23(a) permits, without the author's consent and without paying royalties but with compulsory acknowledgement of the author and the source, quoting a work available to the public by lawful publication or communication to the public for scientific, research, polemic, critical or information purposes, only to the extent justified by the quotation purpose, including reproduction of excerpts from newspapers and magazines for a printed survey.
Article 23(c) separately permits reproducing articles or publicly transmitted works of similar content on current economic, political, social and religious issues through periodicals or public transmission, unless the author or another copyright holder has specially prohibited such reproduction, while the author retains the right to publish the work in a collection.
Neither paragraph carries a headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from its own purpose-limited test, and no reported Georgian decision applies either paragraph to a systematic news aggregator rather than an individual quoting a published work.
