What it requires

  • Do not extract or re-utilise all or a substantial part of the contents of a database that reflects substantial investment in obtaining, verifying or presenting its contents, without the database right owner's authorisation, unless a statutory exception applies.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Part III creates database right where there has been substantial investment in obtaining, verifying or presenting a database's contents, and its exceptions are listed in Schedule 4. They impose no duty to create, keep, produce or review a log or record. The qualification section ties the right to a Bermudian maker, which says who owns the right rather than what brings an infringer within the Act.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

A property right, database right, subsists in a database where there has been a substantial investment in obtaining, verifying or presenting its contents, regardless of whether the database or its contents is also a copyright work.

The right is infringed by extracting or re-utilising all or a substantial part of a database's contents without the owner's authority, subject to exceptions for parliamentary and judicial proceedings, material open to public inspection under a statutory requirement, and material communicated to the Crown in the course of public business. The Copyright Tribunal has jurisdiction over disputed licensing schemes and licences for database right, on the same terms as for copyright licensing.
