Legea nr. 69/2022, adopted 28 March 2022 and published in Monitorul Oficial nr. 321 din 1 aprilie 2022, transposed Articles 3 and 4 of the EU Digital Single Market Copyright Directive (2019/790) into Legea nr. 8/1996, inserting two text-and-data-mining exceptions.
Article 36^1 permits a research organization or cultural-heritage institution to reproduce and extract text and data from a lawfully accessible work for scientific-research purposes without the rights holder's authorization, retaining the copy only as long as necessary to verify the research results.
Article 36^2 permits any person to reproduce and extract text and data from a lawfully accessible work for text-and-data-mining purposes generally, but that exception does not apply where the rights holder has expressly reserved the use of the work through machine-readable means or another adequate method, most often for content made public online.
