Law No-08-PR-2015 establishes a safe harbour regime for intermediaries for copyright infringements. Art. 92 prescribes for immunity of internet intermediaries provided that the service provider: (a) is not the source of the transmission; (b) does not select the recipient of the transmission; (c) does not select or modify the information that is the subject of the transmission. Under Art. 94, an intermediary service provider is not responsible for the information stored at the request of a recipient of the service provided that:
- the service provider has no actual knowledge of the illicit nature of the activity or information
- the service provider, as soon as it has such knowledge, following voluntary checks or based on serious information communicated by a third party, acts promptly to remove the information or to restore access to it impossible.
In addition, when the intermediary service provider becomes aware of the illicit content, Art. 95 mandates that they should communicate it immediately to the certification authority, which in turn approaches the public prosecutor to take necessary measures to seize the data. As long as the judicial authority has not made any decisions on the matter, the service provider can only take measures to prevent access to the information. A similar degree of safe harbour is provided under Art. 55 of Law No. 09 of 2015 on Cybersecurity and the fight against Cybercrime.
