The Interplay of Legal Regimes of Personal Data, Intellectual Property and Freedom of Expression in Language Research

Sometimes legal scholars get relevant but baffling questions from laypersons like: "The reference to a workis personal data, so does the GDPR actually require me to anonymise it? Or, as my voice data is personaldata, does the GDPR automatically give me access to a speech recognizer using my voice sample? Or, canI say anything about myself without the GDPR requiring the web host to anonymise or remove the post?What can I say about others like politicians? And, what can researchers say about patients in a researchreport?" Based on these questions, the authors address the interaction of intellectual property and dataprotection law in the context of data minimisation and attribution rights, access rights, trade secret protection, and freedom of expression.
