Opposition to text and data mining by generative artificial intelligence by AI

The structure of the present Website as well as the entirety of audiovisual works and content present on the Website, as well as the entirety of their components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.) are protected by intellectual property law and may not be used without the prior written authorization of Pathé Films.
As needed, Pathé Films hereby objects to any digital copies or reproductions of these audiovisual works, content, and/or any of their copyrighted components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.) for the purpose of text and data mining by a generative Artificial Intelligence system (IAG), within the meaning of Articles L. 122-5-3,III and L. 211-3,8° of the Intellectual Property Code (CPI), transposing Directive (EU) 2019/790 of April 17, 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market.
Article R. 122-28 of the CPI specifies that this opposition “ does not need to be justified and can be expressed by any means. In the case of content made available to the public online, this opposition can notably be expressed through machine-readable means, including metadata, and by using the terms and conditions of use of a website or service.”
It is recalled that in the context of its activities, Pathé Films may authorize its contractors and/or press organizations to use the audiovisual works, content, and/or any of their copyrighted components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.)present on the Website, to the extent strictly necessary for the carrying out of the authorized exploitation or for information purposes. However, these authorizations do not permit these contractors and/or press organizations to make digital copies or reproductions of these works and/or content and/or their components for text and data mining, nor to authorize a third party to do so, particularly a generative AI system.
Consequently, all text and data mining operations by an AI system using audiovisual works, content and/or any of their copyright-protected components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc) presented or made available to the public online on the Website or by third parties, whether this making available is done by extracts or in its entirety, in free access free of charge or for a fee, constitute acts of infringement, punishable by the sanctions provided for in L. 331-1 et seq. of the CPI, unless prior written agreement is obtained from Pathé Films (or, where applicable, from the collective management organization to which Pathé Films has expressly entrusted a mandate to this effect).
To facilitate the reading of this right of objection by machine or any automated data collection device, this objection is also expressed as: < TDM-RESERVATION: 1> or TDM: NO
