The right to quote must be allowed whenever the work in question has already been made public in advance, whether it is quoted for educational or scientific reasons, or for purely informational, creative or any other purposes. Prior authorization from the copyright holder should not be necessary for the reproduction of published works, provided that said reproduction is for private use, either individual or collective, or to be shared between peers, and as long as no profit is obtained There should be no requirement to seek an authors permission for the reproduction or dissemination of artistic, scientific or technical works that have already been presented publicly, when the purpose is educational, scientific, informational, satirical or incidental to the principal creative objective, as long there is attribution and all moral rights are respected.
