EU Commission publishes feasibility study on TDM right reservation registry

The EU Commission has published a feasibility study looking into the possibility of setting up a registry for text and data mining (TDM). The proposed registry would facilitate the expression by rightsholders of right reservation on their content for TDM purposes (which preserves licensing routes) and, at the same time, make it easier for AI companies to find these indications. This technical intervention would be expensive to build and maintain, without resolving concerns about the extent to which AI companies will comply with right reservation.
