Article 57-1 gives an electronic press publisher the exclusive right to permit or prohibit an information-society service provider from reproducing an electronic press publication or part of it, or making it publicly available online. The right does not reach an individual user's private or non-commercial use, a hyperlink, or a publication first published before 6 June 2019.
It also does not reach the use of individual words from the publication or an extract of 125 or fewer print characters, not counting the heading and spaces. An electronic press publisher must ensure that the authors of works included in the publication receive an appropriate share of the revenue the publisher earns from an information-society service provider's use. Absent another agreement between the publisher and the author, that revenue is split equally.
