What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Section 82/A defines a press publication as a periodic or regularly updated publication, consisting mainly of journalistic literary works, published under a single title for the purpose of informing the public about news or other topics, on a service provider's initiative, editorial responsibility, and control; a periodical published for scientific purposes does not qualify.

Section 82/B(1) requires the press publication's publisher's consent before it is made available to the public in a way that lets members of the public access it from a place and at a time individually chosen by them, and before it is reproduced electronically for that purpose, where the use is by an information-society service provider.

Section 82/B(2) gives the publisher a right to remuneration for that use, and 82/B(3) obliges the publisher to give the publication's authors an appropriate share of the resulting revenue. Section 82/C exempts a hyperlink to the publication, single words or very short extracts of it, and an individual user's private or non-commercial use. Under Section 111/J(1), the publisher may exercise these exclusive rights only for uses occurring on or after 1 June 2021.
