Is text and data mining legal in the United States?
The US has no dedicated TDM exception like the EU's. TDM tends to be argued under fair use, which is fact-specific and actively contested in current AI-copyright litigation, so there's no blanket yes or no. The defensible move is to check and record the rights expressed on each source rather than assume. This is general information, not legal advice.
