2° The use of isolated words or very short extracts from a press publication. This exception may not affect the effectiveness of the rights granted under the same Article L. 218-2. This effectiveness ́ is affected in particular when the use of very short extracts replaces ̀ the press publication itself or dispenses the reader from referring to it.
