Lee A. Bygrave (University of Oslo) has posted The Data Difficulty in Database Protection on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
-
The article examines the definition of the term ‘database’ in the 1996 Database Directive. It focuses on whether or not biological material may legally be regarded as database constituents. The issue, it argues, serves as a reminder of the general need for lawmakers to address rigorously the meaning of information concepts.
Highly recommended.
