This seems like a bizarre law. I assume that it only applies to news publishers, so that you can still publish open-source software or put CC licences on your own photos without needing to demand payment?

I haven't read the law itself, but I assume it only applies to news publishing. Simply banning the right to give your content out for free would be extremely broad and overly stupid for any government to do legally.
