What it requires

  • Do not circumvent, or supply a device, mechanism, product, component, or system designed, marketed, or predominantly used to circumvent, a technological protection measure that controls access to a copyrighted work.

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

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

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Article 114 Bis allows effective technological protection measures and rights-management information and defines both; article 232 Bis fines the trade in circumvention devices and services. Neither requires anyone to keep a log or record; rights-management information is data attached to a work, not a record the user keeps. No territorial test is stated in these articles, so the hook is empty.

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

Article 114 Bis lets a copyright or related-right holder implement an effective technological protection measure, defined as any technology, device, or component that, in the normal course of its operation, protects the right or controls access to a work, performance, or phonogram, and lets rights-management information be attached to a work.

Article 232 Bis fines, from 1,000 to 20,000 times the Unidad de Medida y Actualización (UMA), anyone who produces, reproduces, manufactures, distributes, imports, markets, leases, stores, transports, offers, makes available, or otherwise supplies a device, mechanism, product, component, or system that is promoted, marketed, or advertised for the purpose of circumventing an effective technological protection measure; is used predominantly for that purpose; or is designed, produced, or executed for that purpose.

Neither article names crawling, scraping, or a bot as such; Article 232 Bis's prohibition runs against trafficking in a device or service designed to circumvent, and a separate provision, Article 232 Ter, fines the act of circumventing a technological protection measure that controls access to a copyrighted work, regardless of the collection method used afterward.
