Article 1278. The Free Reproduction of a Work for Law-Enforcement Purposes Article 1278. The Free Reproduction of a Work for Law-Enforcement Purposes A work may be reproduced without the author's or other right holder's consent and without paying out a fee for the purpose of implementing proceedings in a case of administrative offence, of inquiring, preliminary investigation or legal proceedings within a scope justified by the purpose.

Article 1279. The Free Recording of a Work by a Broadcasting Organisation for the Purpose of Short-Term Use A broadcasting organisation is entitled to make a record, without the author's or other right holder's consent and without paying out a fee, for the purpose of short-term use of the work in respect of which the organisation has obtained a right to broadcast communication, provided the record is made by the broadcasting organisation by means of its own equipment and for its own broadcasts. In this case, the organisation shall destroy the record within six months after it was made, unless a longer term has been agreed upon with the right holder or established by a law. Such record may be preserved without the consent of the right holder in state or municipal archives if it has an exclusively documentary nature.
