What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
A person with lawful access to a work, including a press publication, may reproduce it or extract data from it for automated text-and-data analysis without the rightsholder's consent, per Article 26e(1).
A rightsholder, including a press publisher, may reserve that use by a machine-readable technical means, such as a robots.txt-style signal, which is binding once so established, per Article 26e(4); a news aggregator indexing press content must honor that reservation to remain within the exception.
A separate, unconditional exception in Article 26zh covers universities, libraries and research institutes mining for scientific research, and Article 26k(2) obliges a rightsholder to give such a research user access within 72 hours of a request.
