Freedom of speech
Freedom of speech is specified in the cornerstone of Danish legislation named Danmarks Riges Grundlov: Danmarks Riges Grundlov, lov nr. 169 af 5. juni 1953, § 77: »Enhver er berettiget til på tryk, i skrift og tale at offentliggøre sine tanker, dog under ansvar for domstolene. Censur og andre forebyggende forholdsregler kan ingensinde påny indføres«.

I essense it says that we have the right to express and publicize our sentiments, albeit within the law (i.e. no death threats, no racism, etc.), and we can't have censorship or preventive measures ever again.


Copyright and the right to quote
In regards to copyright, Danish law states (among other things):

§ 1. Den, som frembringer et litterært eller kunstnerisk værk, har ophavsret til værket, hvad enten dette fremtræder som en i skrift eller tale udtrykt skønlitterær eller faglitterær fremstilling, som musikværk eller sceneværk, som filmværk eller fotografisk værk, som værk af billedkunst, bygningskunst eller brugskunst, eller det er kommet til udtryk på anden måde.

   Stk. 2 Kort samt tegninger og andre i grafisk eller plastisk form udførte værker af beskrivende art henregnes til litterære værker.

§ 22. Af et offentliggjort værk er det tilladt at citere i overensstemmelse med god skik og i det omfang, som betinges af formålet.

§ 23. Offentliggjorte kunstværker og værker af beskrivende art, jf. § 1, stk. 2, må gengives i kritiske eller videnskabelige fremstillinger i tilslutning til teksten, når det sker i overensstemmelse med god skik og i det omfang, som betinges af formålet. Gengivelsen må ikke ske i erhvervsøjemed.


In essence it says that ownership/copyright of a work of art (text, picture, music etc.) belongs to the creator. For publicized works of art, it is allowed to quote in accordance with good practice, to the extent necessary for the purpose. Publicized works of art may be reproduced in critical and scientific publications (articles, reviews, posters, etc.) to the extent required for the purpose. Reproduction may not be a part of any commercial business.
