In force.
A copyright and text and data mining (TDM) rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 6 September 2026.
What it requires
- Do not reproduce a copyrighted work outside the closed list of privileged uses (personal use, non-commercial teaching or scientific research illustration, or specified non-commercial digital reproduction) without the rightsholder's authorization.
- There is no text-and-data-mining exception or machine-readable opt-out mechanism under this Act; obtain the rightsholder's authorization for bulk reproduction of copyrighted text for commercial purposes such as AI model training, unless a privileged use applies.
- This article does not apply to computer programs at all.
What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Published works may be used without the rightsholder's authorization only for a closed list of privileged purposes: use within a personal or closely connected circle, illustration in teaching or non-commercial scientific research, photomechanical reproduction for teaching, research, or internal documentation in an institution, and non-commercial digital reproduction for teaching or research.
The article does not apply to computer programs, and it does not create a text-and-data-mining exception or a machine-readable opt-out mechanism of the kind EU Directive 2019/790 introduced; a use falling outside this closed list, including bulk reproduction of copyrighted text for commercial AI training or aggregation, requires the rightsholder's authorization under the general reproduction right (Art. 10).
