Exemption to Section 1201 Liability for Text and Data Mining
On behalf of Authors Alliance, the Clinic successfully petitioned the Copyright Office for exemptions to Section 1201 liability for researchers engaging in text and data mining of literary works and films. As part of a triennial proceeding, the Clinic drafted a petition, responded to opponents, and appeared before the Copyright Office to make the case for such research. The Copyright Office largely granted the proposed exemption in October 2021. When the exemption was up for renewal in 2024, the Clinic submitted comments and made the case for an expansion of the exemption, much of which the Copyright Office granted.
