|The case concerned a second-tier appeal against an interim measure prohibiting, among other things, the publication of Supreme Court rulings extracted from Lovdata’s databases. The issue at stake was whether the freedom of expression entails restrictions on the protection of databases under the Copyright Act.


The Lovdata Foundation waived most of the original claim in the second round in the County Court. Thus, a dispute remained over the Supreme Court decisions for the period 2003-2007 and question about legal costs.
A number of judgments and other decisions of the Supreme Court had been retrieved from Lovdata's databases and published on the website Rettspraksis.no, which presents itself as a free resource for searching and finding information in court decisions.


The Supreme Court concluded that extraction and making available on the internet the material in question was in violation of Lovdata's exclusive right under section 24 of the Copyright Act as far as the Supreme Court rulings were exported from a DVD published by Lovdata in 2005 or Lovdata's online databases. It was agreed that material retrieved from a CD released by Lovdata in 2002 could be used freely because the database protection period of 15 years had expired.

The Copyright Act is based on international sources of law and reflects the legislature's deliberate weighing of the rights holders' legitimate rights on the one hand and freedom of expression on the other. The issue of freedom of expression in this case could not overrule the clear provisions of the law.
The order provides guidance for the balance between the database rights under the Copyright Act and freedom of expression. The order further provides guidance on the interpretation of Section 14 of the Copyright Act, that applies to public documents as part of the exercise of public authority, which are not protected by the Copyright Act.
 
The decision guidance for the weighing between the database right under the Copyright Act and freedom of expression. The decison further provides guidance on the interpretation of section 14 of the Copyright Act, which applies to public documents and other rights without protection under the Copyright Act.
