Crowdsourced Databases and Sui Generis Rights

Databases 2021-08-11 v1 Machine Learning

Abstract

In this study we propose a new concept of databases (crowdsourced databases), adding a new conceptual approach to the debate on legal protection of databases in Europe. We also summarise the current legal framework and current indexing and web scraping practices - it would not be prudent to suggest a new theory without contextualising it in the legal and practical context in which it is developed.
