LuxembourgLoi du 18 avril 2001 sur les droits d'auteur, Text and Data Mining Exception for News Content (Art. 10, points 15 and 16)
Art. 10 points 15 et 16 (contenus de presse), de la loi du 18 avril 2001 sur les droits d'auteur, les droits voisins et les bases de donnees, ajoutes par la loi du 1er avril 2022 portant transposition de la directive (UE) 2019/790
In force since .
A text and data mining (TDM) opt-out rule binding public and private bodies.
- Instrument type
- an act of a legislature
What it requires
- You may reproduce and extract lawfully accessible works, including news articles, for text and data mining without the rightholder's authorization, unless the rightholder has expressly reserved that use by an appropriate means, including a machine-readable reservation for content made available online (point 16).
- If you index or mine Luxembourg press content for purposes other than scientific research, check for a publisher's machine-readable reservation first and do not mine content that carries one: it removes the exception's protection for that content.
- Research organizations and public libraries, museums, archives and film or sound heritage institutions may mine for scientific research without being subject to that reservation (Article 10, point 15).
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
In the frameworks
- NIST AI RMF
- MAP 4.1Approaches for mapping AI technology and legal risks of its components – including the use of third-party data or software – are in place, followed, and documented, as are risks of infringement of a third party’s intellectual property or other rights.
Our reading of where this law's duties sit in each framework. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law
Who enforces it
Settledness
- As of
- Open questions
- Does a robots.txt directive, a clause in terms of use or another signal on a website amount to a reservation made 'de manière appropriée, notamment par des procédés lisibles par machine' (appropriately, in particular by machine-readable means) under article 10, point 16?
- Is a work behind a paywall or a login, or one reached by getting past a technical block, 'accessible de manière licite' (lawfully accessible) under article 10, point 16?
What this law does
Article 10, point 16 permits reproductions and extractions of lawfully accessible works, including news articles, for text and data mining without the rightholder's authorization, unless the rightholder has expressly reserved that use by an appropriate means, including a machine-readable reservation for content made available online.
Article 10, point 15 gives research organizations and public libraries, museums, archives and film or sound heritage institutions the same permission for scientific-research text and data mining, without being subject to that reservation. Point 16 is not mandatory, and it does not affect the application of point 15.
