Summary:

"When exclusive rights protect the publication of any text snippet, headline, sentence and paragraph, the legal chaos is absolute. When the publication of any work can cause a new publishing right to accrue, the term restriction and the concept of public domain are nothing but theory anymore. Let’s hope the commission has these factors in mind."
