TLDR
Issues such as the notion of “lawful access”, the beneficiary of the mandatory exception for TDM, the purpose-specific TDM described in art.3 of the new Directive on Copyright in the DSM, and the application of the “three-step test” in TDM are shed light.Abstract:
Text and
Data Mining (hereinafter, TDM) issue for the purpose of scientific research or
for any other purpose which is included in the provisions of the new EU
Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (hereinafter, DSM). TDM is
a term that includes Web harvesting and Web Archiving activities. Web
harvesting and archiving pertains to the processes of collecting from the web
and archiving of works that reside on the Web. Web harvesting and archiving is
one of the most attractive applications for libraries which plan ahead for
their future operation. When works retrieved from the Web are turned into
archived and documented material to be found in a library, the amount of works
that can be found in said library can be far greater than the number of works
harvested from the Web. This paper aims at presenting certain issues related to
the existing legal framework as well as technical/librarianship issues that
apply to TDM which includes Web harvesting and archiving activities. This paper
elaborates upon the applicable new provisions of Directive 2019/ 790/EU on Copyright in the DSM with the aim to
shed light upon issues such as the notion of “lawful access”, the
beneficiary of the mandatory exception for TDM, the purpose-specific TDM
described in art.3 of the new Directive on Copyright in the DSM, and the
application of the “three-step test” in TDM.read more
