Section 13b(1) lets a person with lawful access to a work reproduce it for text-and-data-mining purposes and retain the copies solely for that purpose, unless the author has expressly and appropriately reserved that right.
Section 13b(2) gives research organizations and cultural heritage institutions with lawful access a broader exception to reproduce a work for text-and-data-mining in scientific research and retain the copies for that research, including later verification of research results, provided the copies are accessible only to those entitled to them; that broader exception cannot be overridden by contract or prevented by technical means.
