This may be of interest to this crowd. Singapore has explicitly set out exceptions to copyright infringement in its new copyright act. Sections 243 and 244 of the Copyright Act 2021 [0] permit copies of works to be made for "computational data analysis", provided certain conditions are met. It's not clear how this will pan out - the definition of "computational data analysis" is broad in some ways, narrow in others, and the conditions need to be tested against real world scenarios.
