The article examines the problem of orphan works in general. Orphan works are copyrighted works whose owners are difficult or impossible to identify and/or locate after a diligent search has been conducted. The article introduces the nature of the problem and how it emerged.There are various reasons for the creation of the problem of orphan works and the authors undertake a qualitative approach to a thorough investigation that reveals that orphan works have become a significant challenge. The authors also reveal the legal and technological factors behind the creation of the problem and suggest ways to prevent its recurrence in the future. It is understood that orphan works undermine the goal of copyright law because one of the objectives of providing authors with copyright protection is that the public should, in return, be able to access the protected work and take benefit from it; however, the problem of orphan works deprives the public of a means of accessing these works.

“…They may also be used as a 'cultural genome' to quantify cultural trends over centuries and across languages, as repositories of 'key ideas' to be extracted through data mining, as data containers to be mined for the purpose of refining search engine algorithms, or for statistical machine translation. 80 However, the exception in its current form 81 is rather narrow. It only allows researchers to carry out data mining in pre-existing databases, and only for non-commercial research purposes.…”

Mass digitization projects that have been carried out by libraries and their commercial partners across the Atlantic, such as Google Books and Europeana, are celebrating their 10th birthdays. This article analyses what legal challenges they pose to the copyright law systems, and how the US and EU jurisdictions have responded to them. In particular, the article identifies certain elements in the US copyright law system that played an important role in encouraging the creation of innovative and value-added services in the library sector. These elements include the transformative use doctrine, the restrictive interpretation of the market harm criterion and the openness towards commercial reuse of works. It is then discussed whether, and how, these elements could be better integrated in the EU copyright law system in order to foster the European library and information technology sector.

“…A major difficulty in addressing data as property is its intangible nature added to the fact that it can be replicated many times without concrete evidence that its value is lost. On the other hand, copyright law reviewed in general within a digital environment increasingly shaped by big data, is greatly challenged: works are used 'in bulk' for purposes other than making their content available to the public, such as text mining and content mining [10]. Personal data in that sense -although treated as a tradable commodity online-has not yet received explicit protection under copyright law regime, falling mostly within the protective scope of privacy law.…”

The paper discusses the theory of "propertization of data", namely the proposition that data can be owned and constitute one's property, in the light of big data and the quantified self (QS) movement. Can we really own our own data? Part 1 discusses the issue of commodification of personal data and part 2 dissects this further by examining how personal data is treated at each stage of the big data processing cycle. Parts 3 and 4 complete the argument put forth here, namely that raw data-once seen out of context and as a part of a dataset can indeed be considered as property, able to be owned and traded.
