6. Intellectual property and exceptions.

In France, the use of cultural works is governed by the Intellectual Property Code. In principle, a work cannot be used (commercially or otherwise) by a natural or legal person without the prior authorisation of its author and/or rights holders.

However, Article L.122-5 of the Intellectual Property Code provides an exception: the right of quotation.

[…] a work, once disclosed, may be used without the author’s permission when it involves “analyses or short quotations justified by the critical, polemical, educational, scientific or informational nature of the work into which they are incorporated” […]

– Extract from Article L.122-5 of the Intellectual Property Code. –

Sources :

I use extracts from cultural works in some of our analysis, critique, synthesis (e.g. summaries) and training content.

I am fully committed to ensuring that the use of these works forms part of a non-competitive approach in relation to their commercial exploitation.

The works quoted are always credited and accompanied by a link that encourages their purchase and/or rental.

In the absence of a specific commercial partnership, the recommendation link (URL) for cultural products is the one provided by the Amazon Partenaires programme. As an Amazon Partner (Associate), marco.studio earns a commission on qualifying purchases.

This commission may represent up to 12% of the product’s sale price according to the Amazon Partenaires programme remuneration terms. Whatever the product or service sold, this commission does not increase the amount of your invoice when you make your purchase.

If you represent a publishing house, a distribution company or a production company, and you hold exploitation rights over a work or a set of works cited in our content, you can contact me to set up a direct recommendation.
