48 Hours to Remove Inappropriate Digital Content
The Official Gazette has published the Executive Regulations of the Copyright System in Saudi Arabia, which focus on protecting the rights of authors, producers, and creators of literary and artistic works. It also expands artists' rights in performance and exploitation to be permanent and non-expiring. The regulations include procedures to organize contractual relationships and rights of exclusivity in financial exploitation, along with regulating the relationship between workers and employers concerning works created during the performance of their official duties. Additionally, they address issues related to the use of artificial intelligence programs, setting conditions for their use in developing algorithms while safeguarding copyright protections. The regulations specify that any infringing content must be removed within 48 working hours of notification. They grant broad authority to the Authority's personnel for inspection and border control. Moreover, mechanisms have been established for voluntary settlement of violations within 15 to 30 days, with data confidentiality ensured. The scope is limited to protecting intellectual property rights from digital infringements, with regulations for excluded materials and copies designated for persons with disabilities.
