文本与数据挖掘著作权合理使用的域外实践与借鉴

Foreign Practices and References of the Fair Use of Copyright in Text and Data Mining

文本与数据挖掘在商业和科研领域有着重要的应用。然而,文本与数据挖掘的来源可能包括已出版图书、期刊或者其他可能受到著作权保护的作品,使得文本与数据挖掘和著作权保护存在潜在冲突。我国司法判决中,已有对于“爬虫”等行为判决为著作权侵权的案例。文本与数据挖掘著作权例外制度取舍实质上已经反映出了相关技术领域国家之间的竞争态势。域外司法与立法实践值得我国在著作权法完善过程中,充分反思和借鉴其价值。

Text and data mining has important applications in business and scientific research.However,sources of text and data mining may include published books,journals,or other works that may be protected by copyright,making text and data mining and copyright protection a potential conflict.In judicial judgments in China,there have been cases in which acts such as "crawlers" have been judged as copyright infringement.The choice of text and data mining copyright exception system has essentially reflected the competition situation among countries in the relevant technical fields.The foreign judicial and legislative practice deserves China to fully reflect on and learn from its value in the process of perfecting the copyright law.
