Each Party shall permit the cross-border transfer of information by electronic means, where such activity is for the conduct of the business of a person of a Party. The Parties may establish restrictions on the cross-border transfer of information by electronic means to achieve a legitimate public policy objective, provided that the measure is not applied in a manner that would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade.

A basic legal framework on intermediary liability for copyright infringement is absent in Argentina's law and jurisprudence.. However, certain Argentine Civil Code and Intellectual Property Law articles are used as references for court cases and decisions.

Courts have developed a series of tests in specific cases that provide some minimal protection.
