Facebook nu e „domeniu public”. Ce poate prelua presa fără acordul autorului, conform unei decizii recente a Curții de Justiție a UE

A recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union confirmed that short texts published on social media can be protected by copyright. This decision arose from a case in Romania involving a Facebook post by a teacher, which was used by a news outlet without permission. The court clarified that the length of a text does not exclude it from copyright protection, as long as it reflects the author's intellectual creation. However, journalists may still use protected works under certain conditions for reporting purposes without needing explicit consent from the author. The case highlights the balance between copyright rights and journalistic freedom.
