Loi n° 2008-09 du 25 janvier 2008 sur le Droit d'Auteur et les Droits Voisins, quotation and current-events exceptions (arts. 44-45)

Article 44 lets any person make analyses of and short quotations from a work already lawfully disclosed, without the author's consent, provided the author's name and the work's title are mentioned and the quotation is compatible with fair practice.

Article 45(1) separately lets any person reproduce or communicate, for information purposes and without the author's consent, articles on current political, social or economic topics and speeches made at political, judicial, administrative or religious gatherings or public meetings, provided the author's name and the source are mentioned. Article 45(2) extends the same information-purpose freedom to reproducing or communicating a work seen or heard while reporting a current event.

Neither branch of article 45 states a short-extract or headline-only limit the way article 44 does for quotations, and none of the sources located records a reported Senegalese decision testing whether a systematic aggregator's reproduction of headlines and snippets, as distinct from a traditional press review or a single current-events report, falls within either exception.

Senegal has no separate press-publisher neighbouring right, no compelled platform-to-publisher bargaining regime, no recognized hot-news or misappropriation doctrine distinct from ordinary copyright and unfair-competition law, and no located case law on hyperlinking or framed display.

Article 8(3) protects a database as a copyright work only where its selection or arrangement of contents is itself an original creation, and Senegal has no sui generis database right and no text-and-data-mining exception or machine-readable opt-out mechanism.
