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 46's opening clause conditions all three of the exceptions it grants on crediting the source and the author's name where the work indicates one, so none of them is a use free of attribution.
Article 46(1) permits, without the rights holder's authorization and without payment, reproducing and distributing by press, or broadcasting or transmitting by cable, information, news and articles of current events, in cases where the reproduction, broadcast or public transmission has not been expressly reserved.
Article 46(2) separately permits reproducing and making available to the public, in connection with reporting on current events, fragments of works seen or heard during those events by photography, audiovisual work, broadcasting or cable transmission, to the extent justified by the informational purpose.
Article 46(3) permits using political, judicial or similar public speeches for informational purposes about current events, while reserving the author's exclusive right to publish them for other purposes. None of these clauses states a headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from the current-events and informational-purpose tests themselves, and no reported Honduran decision applies article 46 to a systematic news aggregator as opposed to press republication generally.
The Act's neighbouring rights, covering performers, phonogram producers and broadcasting organizations, do not extend to a print or online news publisher's own reporting, so Honduras has no press-publisher neighbouring right of the kind the European Union's Digital Single Market Directive Article 15 creates.
