      Text and Data Mining Exceptions in the Development of Generative AI Models: What the EU Member States Could Learn from the Japanese 'Non-Enjoyment' Purposes?, Journal of World Intellectual Property 2023, forthcoming. DOI

      • The European Union (EU) text and data mining (TDM) provisions are a progressive move, but the horizon is still uncertain for both generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models researchers and developers. This article suggests that to drive innovation and further the commitment to the digital single market, during the national implementation, EU Member States could consider taking the Japanese broad, all-encompassing and “nonenjoyment-based” TDM as an example. The Japanese “nonenjoyment” purposes, however, are not foreign to the European continental view of copyright. A similar concept can be found under the German concept of “Freier Werkgenuss” or enjoyment of the work. A flexible TDM exception built upon the German notion of nonenjoyment purposes could become an opening clause to foster innovation and creativity in the age of GenAI. Moreover, the article argues that an opening clause allowing TDM with “nonenjoyment” purposes could be permissible under the so-called three-step test. This article further suggests, if there is no political will to safeguard “the right to read should be the right to mine” and to provide a welcoming environment for GenAI researchers and developers, when shaping the legal interpretation through national case law, the EU Member States could consider the following: (1) advocate for 72 h of response if technological protection measures (TPMs) are preventing TDM, and (2) Robot Exclusion Standard (robot.txt) as a warning when TDM is not allowed on a website. It is now in the hands of the EU Member States, whether to protect the interests of rightholders or to create a balance between safeguarding “the right to read should be the right to mine,” protecting rightholders exclusivity, and creating a supportive environment for the GenAI models researcher and developers.

      Aktualisasi Penerapan Nilai Normatif Kebebasan Berekspresi di Indonesia oleh Warga Negara dan Mahkamah Konstitusi, Jurnal Analisis Hukum 2.1 (2019), 1 - 20.

      • Posisi Kebebasan Pers di Indonesia memiliki tempatnya sendiri dalam Konstitusi Indonesia dan peraturan lainnya. Dari waktu ke waktu, sejak awal kemerdekaan hingga era reformasi, posisi pers berdasarkan perspektif konstitusional memiliki perubahan yang cukup dinamis. Itu dimulai ketika perumusan Undang-Undang Dasar 1945, disahkannya Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia pada tahun 1949, Konstitusi Sementara pada tahun 1950, dan masa UUD 1945 UUD dengan beberapa amandemen sesudahnya, hingga diundangkannya Undang-Undang No. 40 tahun 1999 Tentang Pers. Dalam mewujudkan hak-hak konstitusional yang diluruskan terhadap kebebasan pers di Indonesia, dibutuhkan kerja sama sinergis antara warga negara sebagai subjek dan Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai lembaga terkemuka yang melaksanakan misi penting pelurusan konstitusi negara. Sementara itu, peran yang dapat diambil oleh warga negara mungkin adalah pemberian dukungan penuh kepada para pelaku pers di negara ini, dan peran Mahkamah Konstitusi yang dapat diambil adalah dalam bentuk implementasi konkret terhadap petisi untuk peninjauan kembali yudisial. Uji yang diajukan Produk hukum komunitas terhadap kebebasan pers yang bertentangan dengan undang-undang.
      • The position of The Freedom of Pers in Indonesia has its own place in the Indonesian
        Constitution and theirs other regulation. From time to time, since the beginning of
        independence to the reform era, the position of press based of the constitutional perspective
        in term has a dynamic change. It is begin when the formulation of the 1945 Constitution, the
        enactment of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Stated in 1949, Temporary
        Constitution in 1950, and the time of the UUD’s 1945 Constitution with some amendments afterwards, until the promulgation of Act No. 40 of 1999 Concerning the press. In realizing
        the constitutional rights straightening against press freedom in Indonesia, it takes a
        synergistic cooperation between citizens as subjects and the Constitutional Court as the
        leading institution carrying out the important mission of Constitution straightening of the
        country. Meanwhile, the role can be taken by citizens may be the granting of full support to
        the perpetrators of the press in the country, and the role of the Constitutional Court may be taken is in the form of implementation of concrete against the petition for judicial review Test proposed Community legal products against press freedom in opposition to the legislation.
