Comment Neelie (Kroes)

Making speeches talk

excerpt from: Our single market is crying out for copyright reform

[...] When European scientists have to abandon text or data mining because they can't afford the legal fees – how does that help innovation and scientific progress? And by the way that restriction is costing our economy tens of billions of euros.

As a person doing data-mining in scale, I found refugee on the recently published Creative Commons 4.0 license. It provides the right to "Sui generis database" and this is only possible in Europe. Thank you! 1!
