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 does not infringe copyright by reproducing a lawfully accessed work for the purpose of automated textual and data analysis carried out to obtain information such as patterns, trends and correlations, and may keep the resulting copy only for as long as the analysis requires, per Section 39c(1).
That general licence does not apply where the rightholder has expressly reserved the use in a suitable way, including, for a work made available online, a machine-readable reservation, per Section 39c(2); a scraper mining a work so reserved needs the rightholder's authorization.
A separate, non-waivable exception in Section 39d lets a university carrying out scientific research, or a legal person whose main purpose is scientific research or education including research, mine a lawfully accessed work regardless of any rightholder reservation.
