The EU Directive 2019/790 on Copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market was set
in force to align with the demands of the contemporary digital landscape, encompassing 32
Articles and 84 Recitals. This thesis examines the provisions related to text and data mining
(TDM), in particular Article 3 and 4 of the Directive 2019/790, which introduce mandatory
exceptions for the use of TDM by research organisations and cultural institutions as well as other
entities under specific conditions. Both provisions are examined in the context of applicability,
implementation as well as the legal implications they pose. In addition, the interplay between
TDM and emerging technologies such as generative artificial intelligence is explicitly discussed
as well as the implications of the recently enacted EU Regulation 2024/1689 known as AI Act and
EU Regulation 2023/2854, the so‐called Data Act. Overall, the aim of this study is to provide a
comprehensive understanding of the fast‐paced evolving landscape of copyright and TDM in the
EU.
