Division 8—Computational data analysis
Interpretation: what is computational data analysis
243. In this Division, “computational data analysis”, in relation to a work or a recording of a protected performance, includes—
- (a) using a computer program to identify, extract and analyse information or data from the work or recording; and
- (b) using the work or recording as an example of a type of information or data to improve the functioning of a computer program in relation to that type of information or data.
Illustration
An example of computational data analysis under paragraph (b) is the use of images to train a computer program to recognise images.
Copying or communicating for computational data analysis
244.—(1) If the conditions in subsection (2) are met, it is a permitted use for a person (X) to make a copy of any of the following material:
- (a) a work;
- (b) a recording of a protected performance.
(2) The conditions are—
- (a) the copy is made for the purpose of—
- (i) computational data analysis; or
- (ii) preparing the work or recording for computational data analysis;
- (b) X does not use the copy for any other purpose;
- (c) X does not supply (whether by communication or otherwise) the copy to any person other than for the purpose of—
- (i) verifying the results of the computational data analysis carried out by X; or
