(4) Article 11, Paragraph 16, briefly states: "...If, without the authorization of the original creator, dance continuous movements from the original work are used for more than 1 minute within each dance segment, or if the cumulative duration of dance continuous movements used in different dance segments reaches 2 minutes, it will be considered plagiarism. ...
