The publisher of a press publication has the exclusive right to authorize the online reproduction and the making available to the public of its press publication by an information-society-service provider, per Article 7b(1). The right does not reach private or non-commercial use by individual users, hyperlinking to a press publication, the use of single words or very short fragments, or the use of a work whose own protection term has expired, per Article 7b(2).

The right cannot be invoked against the author, performer, or producer whose own protected material is embedded in the press publication, per Article 7b(3). The author of a literary, scientific, or artistic work carried in a press publication is entitled to an appropriate share of the revenue the publisher receives for the work's use by an information-society-service provider, per Article 7b(5).
