D o m i n i c a n R e p u b l i c 16. COPYRIGHT IN NEWSPAPERS Art. 32 of Law 32 of 1986, regarding the rights of authorship,
establishes: ?Any article, photograph, illustration or commentary
about some current news event, published by the print or electronic
media, may be reproduced provided its reproduction is not explicitly
prohibited.? The same law says it is legal to reproduce, distribute and
inform the public of news events and other event-related information
that have been publicly disseminated by the print or radio media
(Art. 33). The law also authorizes the print and electronic media to publish
as news, without prior approval, speeches given in assemblies that
are in session, in courtroom debates, or before other public authorities,
or any other conference, speech, sermon or similar document presented
publicly, provided such text was not previously and explicitly declared
classified. Also allowed is the publication of pictures for scientific,
educational or cultural purposes in general or that show deeds or
events of public interest or that took place in public as described
by Art. 35 of the same law.
