A recording of the online event of the MGTŠ and URSIL is published
On 17 April 2023, the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport and the Intellectual Property Office held an online event entitled “Exceptions and limitations in education, research and science and open science and copyright” as part of a discussion on the further development of copyright legislation.
During the web event, a representative of the European Commission presented the regulation of exceptions and limitations to copyright and related rights in the field of education, research and science in the European legal order. Representatives from France, Germany and Slovakia presented their national regimes in this area. The second part dealt with open science and copyright, where, among other things, a representative of the European Commission presented the activities of DG Research in this area.
The interesting presentations were complemented by questions from the audience. We would like to draw particular attention to the discussion on the exemption for data and text mining and the EU Commission’s clarifications on legal access, as these topics are particularly relevant to ODIPI within the Knowledge Rights 21 network.
A recording of the event can be accessed via this site.
ODIPI is organizing ERA KR21 Conference: Barriers and Incentives for Open Science in the Copyright Law that will take place on 2 December, 2024 at Hotel Four Points by Sheraton (Mons) in Ljubljana and also online.
The District Court of Hamburg ruled in the case of Kneschke v. LAION e.V. that LAION did not infringe the copyright of photographer Kneschke, as the use of his photograph was covered by the exception for text and data mining (TDM) for scientific purposes.
“Can copyright bring artificial intelligence to its knees? Which other circumstances may cause that the “making” of generative AI can dramatically change in the (near) future. This short paper presents potential challenges that copyright poses to the training of the machines on large amount of data. Different jurisdictions address these issues differently. In the USA the legality of these activities is tested in several court cases. Do gentlemen’s agreements and pragmatic symbiosis known from the “search engines business model” provide sufficient basis and/or incentive for the business model of “making” generative AI business model as well?
