Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Article 8 excludes the news of the day and mere facts or data from copyright protection outright, alongside ideas and official legislative, administrative or judicial texts: a bare fact, or the news of the day as such, is never a protected work under Paraguayan law, whichever outlet reports it first.
Article 41 separately permits, without the author's authorization or payment, and provided the author's name and source are clearly credited, the reproduction and distribution by the press, or transmission by any medium, of current-affairs articles on economic, social, artistic, political or religious questions published in the media or broadcast, but only where the reproduction or disclosure has not been made the subject of an express reservation by the rightsholder.
The exception is not capped at a headline-length or short-extract threshold and is not confined to the press industry, but article 45 requires it to be interpreted restrictively and never applied contrary to fair practice.
