The new UK copyright exemption supports text and data mining for non-commercial research.
This exemption may lead to more innovative research practices compared to DMCA and EUCD.
The UK legal framework is evolving to enhance research efficiency while navigating international copyright laws.
This development indicates a shift towards supporting data-driven research in the UK context.
Abstract
New provisions in UK copyright law look promising for text and data mining. Last year, the government signed into effect an exemption to copyright for the purposes of non-commercial research.
