Article 14 lets any person quote a lawfully published work in another work without the author's authorization, on condition of citing the source and the author's name where it appears in the source, and provided the quotation conforms to fair practice and its extent does not exceed what its purpose justifies.

Article 19(a) separately lets the press reproduce, broadcast, or communicate to the public an economic, political, or religious article published in a newspaper or periodical, or a broadcast work of the same character, on the same source-and-author-name condition, unless the right to reproduce, broadcast, or communicate it has been expressly reserved.

Article 70 states that the Law's provisions enter into force six months after publication in the Bulletin Officiel, which the same source dates to 6 July 2000, placing the commencement date six months later.
