What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Section 35/A(1) makes it a free use to reproduce a work for the text-and-data mining it requires, provided the user has lawful access to the work, the rightsholder has not objected to the free use in advance and in an appropriate manner (for content made available online, in a machine-readable form), and any copies made for the mining are kept only as long as the mining itself needs them.
Section 35/A(2) gives research organizations and cultural heritage institutions a separate, non-waivable exception for text-and-data mining carried out for scientific research, without the opt-out that limits the general exception. The section was inserted by Act XXXVII of 2021, the Digital Single Market (DSM) Directive copyright reform; the stored source states which act inserted it but not that act's own promulgation date.
