FSM Code Title 35, Ch. 1 (Copyrights), secs. 101-109 · Read the law's page
- A general fair use exception permits reproducing a copyrighted work, including for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research, weighed against the purpose, nature, amount used, and market effect of the use.
- No text-and-data-mining-specific exception or opt-out mechanism exists, so relying on fair use for automated collection or model training rests on the same multi-factor test as any other use.
- A compilation of preexisting data is protected as an original work of authorship only for the compiler's own original selection, coordination, or arrangement, not for the underlying data collected.
