- A compilation or database whose selection or arrangement is an original creation is protected as a collection of works; copying that selection or arrangement without authorization can infringe, even though the underlying data itself is never protected by this law.
- Do not circumvent a technological measure that controls access to a protected work, and do not manufacture, import, or traffic in a device or service designed mainly to do so.
- No text-and-data-mining exception exists in Guatemalan copyright law; reproducing a protected compilation's own original selection or arrangement to build a training dataset has no statutory carve-out and needs the rightsholder's authorization or a fair-use-style limitation.
