What it requires
- Do not extract or re-use the whole, or a qualitatively or quantitatively significant part, of a database's contents without the database producer's authorisation.
- Do not repeatedly or systematically extract or re-use insignificant parts of a database if doing so conflicts with the database's normal exploitation or unreasonably prejudices the producer's legitimate interests.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What it makes you log
Logging duty
Article 54 gives the database producer an exclusive right to prevent extraction or re-use of the whole or a significant part of a database, and paragraph 3 bars repeated or systematic extraction of insignificant parts that conflicts with normal exploitation. Article 54-1 lets a producer deposit a copy with Sakpatenti, which is an optional right of the producer, not a duty of the extractor. No clause requires a log or record to be made, kept or produced by the person extracting, and the article has no territorial clause.

What this law does
Article 54 gives a database producer who confirms a substantial qualitative or quantitative investment in obtaining, verifying, or presenting the database's contents an exclusive right to prevent extraction or re-use of the whole content or a qualitatively or quantitatively significant part of it. That right runs for 15 years from the database's making, or from first lawful publication or communication to the public within that term.
Repeated or systematic extraction or re-use of insignificant parts is also prohibited where it conflicts with the database's normal exploitation or unreasonably prejudices the producer's legitimate interests. This sui generis right is independent of copyright in the database's contents. The right was in Article 54 of the Act as first enacted. Law No. 1585 of (Legislative Herald of Georgia, No. 31, ) later amended that article.
