What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Article 44 permits quoting from a lawfully disclosed work without the author's consent or payment, provided the author's name and the source are stated and the quotation follows proper practice and does not exceed what its purpose justifies.
Article 45(a) permits, without authorization, disseminating images or sounds of a work seen or heard in the course of a current event, by sound or audiovisual means, to the extent an informatory purpose justifies, and article 45(b) permits the press or any transmission medium to disseminate, as news of current events, speeches, lectures, addresses, sermons, and similar works delivered in public, to the extent an informatory purpose justifies and without prejudice to the authors' own right to publish those works individually.
Neither provision carries a headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from this proper-practice and informatory-purpose test, and no reported Peruvian decision applies either provision to a systematic news aggregator rather than an individual quoting or reporting a published work. This consolidated WIPO Lex text is current to Decreto Legislativo 1391 (2018), whose amendments reach other articles of the statute and not articles 44 or 45.
