Ley sobre el Derecho de Autor, quotation, press-review, and news-of-the-day exceptions (Arts. 46-49)

Article 46(2) permits quoting determinate parts of a work already disclosed, within an original work in which the author has used language as a medium of expression, provided the author's name and the source are clearly indicated. Article 47(1) permits, on the same attribution condition, the full broadcast by press or radio of speeches given at public assemblies, meetings, ceremonies, or public debates before national, state, or municipal authorities.

Article 47(2) separately permits the dissemination by press or broadcast of current articles on economic, social, artistic, political, or religious matters published in periodicals or magazines, unless their reproduction was expressly reserved, including in the form of a press review.

Article 48 separately declares lawful the reproduction of the news of the day or of miscellaneous facts having the character of mere press information, published by the press or by broadcasting, so long as they do not constitute works of ingenuity by their form, without prejudice to the principles governing unfair competition.

Article 49 permits, for reporting on current events by broadcasting or cinematography, broadcasting or recording brief fragments of works that become perceptible during the events the report concerns.

None of these exceptions is capped at a headline-length or short-extract threshold, and none is confined to a defined press industry; whether any reaches a systematic aggregator's reproduction of headlines and snippets, as against a traditional press review or a broadcaster's current-events report, has not been tested in a located Venezuelan decision.

Venezuela 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.
