Objection to Text and Data Mining by Artificial Intelligence

The structure of the present Site, as well as all audiovisual works and content available on the Site, along with all their components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.), are protected under intellectual property law and cannot be used without prior written authorization from the company Ikki Films.

Where necessary, the company Ikki Films hereby opposes any digital copies or reproductions of these audiovisual works, content, and/or any of their components protected by copyright (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.) for the purpose of text and data mining, particularly by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, as defined by Articles L. 122-5-3, III and L. 211-3, 8° of the French Intellectual Property Code (CPI), which transposes 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 such opposition “does not need to be justified and may be expressed by any means. In the case of content made available to the public online, this opposition may, in particular, be expressed through machine-readable processes, including metadata, and through the terms and conditions of a website or service.”

It is reiterated that, in the course of its activities, the company Ikki Films may authorize its contracting parties and/or online press services to use the audiovisual works, content, and/or any of their components protected by copyright (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.) available on the Site, strictly to the extent necessary for the authorized exploitation. However, these authorizations do not permit these contracting parties and/or online press services to make digital copies or reproductions of these works, content, and/or their components for the purpose of text and data mining, nor to authorize a third party to do so, including an AI system.

As a result, any text and data mining operations carried out by an AI system using audiovisual works, content, and/or any of their components protected by copyright (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.) that are presented or made available to the public online on this Site or by third parties—whether such availability is in excerpts or in full, freely accessible or paid—constitute acts of infringement, subject to the penalties provided in Articles L. 331-1 and following of the CPI, unless prior written consent is obtained from the company Ikki Films (or, where applicable, from the collective management organization to which Ikki Films has expressly granted a mandate to this effect).

To facilitate the readability of this opposition by machine or any automated data collection system, this opposition is also expressed as follows: <TDM-RESERVATION:1> ou TDM: NO
