What this law does

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

A press publisher holds an exclusive right to reproduce and make available online its press publications, defined as a journalistic compilation published under one title in a periodical or regularly updated edition, exercised against an information-society service provider. The right does not reach private or non-commercial use, hyperlinks, or the use of single words or very short extracts.

It cannot be invoked to prohibit use of works the publisher included under a simple licence, or whose copyright or related-rights term has expired, and runs for two years after the press publication is made public. An author whose work is included in a press publication has a right to a proportionate share of the revenue the publisher earns from this online use.
