Infomation Society Directive Art 2: …the exclusive right to authorise or prohibit direct or indirect, temporary or permanent reproduction by any means and in any form, in whole or in part:(a) for authors, of their works.’ Art 5: (1) Temporary acts of reproduction … which are transient or incidental [and] an integral and essential part of a technological process and whose sole purpose is to enable: (a) a transmission in a network between third parties by an intermediary, or (b) a lawful use of a work or other subject-matter to be made, and which have no independent economic significance, shall be exempted from the reproduction right provided for in Article 2. … 5. The exceptions and limitations provided for in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall only be applied in certain special cases which do not conflict with a normal exploitation of the work or other subject-matter and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the rightholder. …3. A computer program shall be protected if it is original in the sense that it is the author’s own intellectual creation. No other criteria shall be applied to determine its eligibility for protection.’
The data capture process... Manual Registration in database Chop off the spine, scan and create a TIFF file TIFF file transferred to an OCR server and text file created Text file processed to identify search term and output generated Cover sheet is printed out e.g. a search for ‘TDC’ generates the following: 4 November 2005 – DagbladetArbejderen, page 3: TDC: 73% ‘a forthcoming sale of the telecommunications group TDC which is expected to be bought’
Infosoc Directive Art 2: …the exclusive right to authorise or prohibit direct or indirect, temporary or permanent reproduction by any means and in any form, in whole or in part:(a) for authors, of their works.’ Art 5: (1) Temporary acts of reproduction … which are transientor incidental [and] an integral and essential part of a technological process and whose sole purpose is to enable: (a) a transmission in a network between third parties by an intermediary, or (b) a lawful use of a work or other subject- matter to be made, and which have no independent economic significance, shall be exempted from the reproduction right provided for in Article 2. … 5. The exceptions and limitations provided for in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall only be applied in certain special cases which do not conflict with a normal exploitation of the work or other subject-matter and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the rightholder. Q1: are the storing and print out of the 11 words acts of reproduction which are protected? Qus 2-12 Qu 13
[34] It is... apparent from the general scheme of the Berne Convention, in particular Article 2(5) and (8), that the protection of certain subject- matters as artistic or literary works presupposes that they are intellectual creations In those circumstances, copyright within the meaning of Article 2(a) of Directive 2001/29 is liable to apply only in relation to a subject-matter which is original in the sense that it is its author’s own intellectual creation. + the other definitions
The protection [under art 2] must be construed broadly As regards newspaper articles, their author’s own intellectual creation... is evidenced clearly from the form, the manner in which the subject is presented and the linguistic expression....it should be observed that they consist of words which, considered in isolation, are not as such an intellectual creation of the author who employs them. It is only through the choice, sequence and combination of those words that the author may express his creativity in an original manner and achieve a result which is an intellectual creation. 11 consecutive words [...constitutes reproduction]...if that extract contains an element of the work which, as such, expresses the author’s own intellectual creation; it is for the national court to make this determination
The act is temporary It is transient or incidental It is an integral and essential part of a technological process Sole purpose of that process is to enable a transmission... of a lawful use... No independent economic significance [is] intended to enable the completion of a technological process of which it forms an integral and essential part.... those acts of reproduction must not exceed what is necessary for the proper completion of that technological process only if its duration is limited to what is necessary for the proper completion of the technological process in question, it being understood that that process must be automated so that it deletes that act automatically, without human intervention, once its function of enabling the completion of such a process has come to an end. The print out (final stage) is not transient
Infopaq – national procedure DDF filed a motion in October 2008 seeking re- referral to the ECJ on the unanswered questions. No ruling as of yet – not expected before Feb/March The Infopaq v DDF case which is currently on appeal in Sweden was stayed on Tuesday pending the decision of the Danish Supreme Court on re- referral. At first instance Infopaq succeeded in Sweden on Art 5(1).
Meanwhile, back in England... R v Gilham [2009] EWCA Crim 2293 The game as a whole is not the sole subject of copyright thus the ‘little and often’ issues fall away “...even if the contents of the RAM of a game console at any one time is not a substantial copy, the image displayed on the screen is such... [if the pause is pressed] There is then displayed a still image, a copy of an artistic work, generated by the digital data in RAM... it is sufficient that a transient copy is made.”
