CambodiaCopyright Law, database protection
Law on Copyright and Related Rights (2003), Arts. 7-8, 21(c), 24(c)
In force.
A database right rule binding public and private bodies.
- Audit expectation
- none
What it requires
- A database compiled from Cambodian sources is protected as its own copyrighted work; reproducing the whole or a substantial part of a digital database is not covered by the personal-use copying exception available for other published works.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What it makes you log
Logging duty
Articles 7, 8, 21(c) and 24(c) define a database, protect a compilation of databases as a work, reserve its rental to the author and bar private copying of the whole or a substantial part of a digital database. None requires a log or record to be created, kept, produced or reviewed. The Law's point-of-attachment rules in Article 3 are not invoked by these articles, so no territorial hook is read from them.

What this law does
Article 7(f) defines a database as an aggregate of information, articles, or diagrams systematically constructed so that it can be searched with the aid of a computer. Article 8 protects a compilation of databases, in machine-readable or other form, as a work in its own right without prejudice to the copyright in the material it compiles. Article 21(c) lists a database among the works whose rental or public lending is reserved to the author's exclusive economic right.
Article 24(c) then excludes the whole or a substantial part of a digital database from the personal-use copying exception that otherwise lets a natural person make one copy of a published work without permission. Protection therefore runs through ordinary compilation copyright rather than through a sui generis right in the underlying data itself; the Act creates no database right independent of that compilation-copyright theory. The Law's text names no day for its entry into force, and no notice stating that day has been located.
