Arts. 211-212, Código Ingenios (Código Orgánico de la Economía Social de los Conocimientos, Creatividad e Innovación), uso justo y actos que no requieren autorización · Read the law's page
- A use falling within the article 212 list, including library, archive, or museum text mining of a work already in the collection, does not require the rights holder's authorization, provided it does not conflict with the work's normal exploitation or unjustifiably prejudice the rights holder.
- Text and data mining outside that library, archive, or museum context, such as mining text scraped from the open web for model training, is not covered by this exception and needs another lawful basis.
