The proposed paper discusses new exceptions for Text and Data Mining that have recently been adopted in some EU Member States, and probably will soon be adopted also at the EU level. These exceptions are of great significance for language scientists, as they exempt those who compile corpora from the obligation to obtain authorisation from rightholders. However, corpora compiled on the basis
of such exceptions cannot be freely shared, which in a long run may have serious consequences for Open Science and the functioning of research infrastructures such as CLARIN ERIC.
