Section 129c(1) to (2), inserted by Act No. 71/2022 Coll. transposing Article 15 of the EU Digital Single Market Copyright Directive, gives a periodical's publisher the exclusive right to use the periodical and to authorise its use, so an information-society service provider may reproduce or make the periodical available online only with the publisher's consent unless the Act provides otherwise.
Section 129c(4) exempts an individual user's private, non-commercial use, hyperlinking, and the use of a headline, individual words, or a very short extract incapable of substituting for the whole periodical. Section 129d limits the right's duration to two years from the periodical's publication, ending on the last day of the calendar year in which that term lapses.
A transitional provision excludes any periodical first published before 6 June 2019 from section 129c. Section 129h requires the publisher to pay rightsholders whose works are included in the periodical an appropriate share of the remuneration it receives from licensing an information-society service provider, within six months of the right's expiry.
