What this law does

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

The maker of a press publication has, subject to the limitations stated in Upphovsrättslagen, an exclusive right to control that publication through an information-society service and for online use, by making copies of it and by making it available to the public in a way that lets individuals access it from a place and at a time they individually choose.

That right does not reach private or non-commercial use by individual users, hyperlinking, or the use of single words or very short extracts of a press publication. It runs until the end of the second year after the year the press publication was published.

Authors whose works form part of a press publication are entitled to an appropriate share of the revenue the publication's maker receives from information-society service providers for exploitation under this right, collected and distributed by an organization representing a substantial number of authors of works used in Sweden in the relevant field.
