What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Without the author's consent and without paying remuneration, a research organization or cultural-heritage institution may reproduce, for scientific-research text-and-data-mining purposes, a work to which it has lawful access, per Section 19-1(1). A contractual term restricting this free use is void, per Section 19-1(4).

Separately, without prejudice to Section 19-1, reproduction of a lawfully accessible work for text-and-data-mining purposes is permitted without the author's consent or payment, but the author may expressly exclude this general free use in an appropriate manner, including by machine-readable means for content made publicly available online, per Section 19-2(1) and (2). Copies made under either section may be retained only as long as necessary for the text-and-data-mining purpose.
