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 84/A(1) requires a database producer's consent before the whole or a substantial part of a database's contents is extracted (reproduced) or re-utilized (made available to the public).
Section 84/A(3) extends this to repeated and systematic extraction or re-utilization of even an insignificant part of the database, where that conflicts with the database's normal exploitation or unreasonably prejudices the producer's legitimate interests, which reaches a scraper that repeatedly copies small amounts over time rather than the database in one pass. Section 84/A(5) confines the right to a database whose obtaining, verification, or presentation required substantial investment.
This transposes the EU Database Directive's sui generis right; the stored source does not carry a promulgation date for the section.
