243. In this Division, “computational data analysis”, in relation to a work or a recording of a protected performance, includes—
 * (a) using a computer program to identify, extract and analyse information or data from the work or recording; and
 * (b) using the work or recording as an example of a type of information or data to improve the functioning of a computer program in relation to that type of information or data.

Copying or communicating for computational data analysis

244.—(1) If the conditions in subsection (2) are met, it is a permitted use for a person (X) to make a copy of any of the following material:
 * (a) a work;
 * (b) a recording of a protected performance.

(2) The conditions are—
 * (a) the copy is made for the purpose of—
 * (i) computational data analysis; or
 * (ii) preparing the work or recording for computational data analysis;
 * (b) X does not use the copy for any other purpose;
 * (c) X does not supply (whether by communication or otherwise) the copy to any person other than for the purpose of—
 * (i) verifying the results of the computational data analysis carried out by X; or
