The structure of this Website, as well as all audiovisual works and content available on it, including all their components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.), are protected by intellectual property laws and may not be used without the prior written authorization of Pathé Live.
 

As necessary, Pathé Live hereby objects to any digital copying or reproduction 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 by a generative artificial intelligence (GAI) system, as defined in Articles L. 122-5-3, III and L. 211-3, 8° of the French Intellectual Property Code (IPC), implementing Directive (EU) 2019/790 of April 17, 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market.
 

Article R. 122-28 of the IPC specifies that such objection “does not need to be justified and may be expressed by any means.

It is reminded that, in the course of its activities, Pathé Live may authorize its contracting parties and/or press organizations 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 Website, strictly to the extent necessary for the authorized exploitation or for informational purposes. However, such authorizations do not permit these parties to make digital copies or reproductions of the works and/or content and/or their components for the purpose of text and data mining, nor to authorize any third party to do so, including a GAI system.
 

Consequently, any text and data mining operations by a GAI system using the audiovisual works, content, and/or any of their components protected by copyright (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.) made available to the public online on the Website or by third parties—whether in full or in part, freely accessible or paid—constitute acts of infringement and are subject to the penalties provided for in Articles L. 331-1 et seq. of the IPC, unless prior written authorization has been obtained from Pathé Live (or, where applicable, from the collective management organization to which Pathé Live has expressly granted a mandate for this purpose).
 

To facilitate machine-readable recognition of this objection by automated data collection systems, it is also expressed as follows: <TDM-RESERVATION: 1> or TDM: NO
