Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Violations of Personality Rights through the
Book SynopsisThis book considers jurisdictional issues on violations of personality rights through the Internet under the so-called ‘Brussels-Lugano Regime’ and centres on the special rule of jurisdiction in matters relating to tort, delict, or quasi-delict. It notes the governing objectives and underlying principles of this special rule; analyses its interpretation through the judgments of the ECJ, especially Bier, Shevill, and eDate and Martinez; and explores views expressed in legal theory and national judicial practice regarding its application for localising online violations of personality rights. The book aims to examine how the eDate and Martinez approaches advance administrability, predictability, and litigational justice and to assess whether they are suitable jurisdictional bases in Europe, where common legal norms, interests, and values increasingly integrate and connect persons. It concludes that they are not and recommends their possible reform.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Digital Copyright: Law and Practice
Book SynopsisThe first edition of this book in 2002 was the first UK text to examine digital copyright together with related areas such as performers’ rights, moral rights, database rights and competition law as a subject in its own right. Now in its fifth edition, the book has been substantially updated and revised to take account of legal and policy developments in copyright law and related areas, the new UK copyright exceptions, recent CJEU cases, the regulation of Collective Management Organisations, orphan works, and developments in EU copyright legislation and the EU’s Digital Single Market Strategy. It also contains new sections on big data and data mining, the impact of artificial intelligence and blockchain on copyright, and the future for UK copyright after Brexit. The book helps put digital copyright law and policy into perspective and provides practical guidance for those creating or exploiting digital content or technology, whether in academia, the software, information, publishing and creative industries, or other areas of the economy. The focus of Digital Copyright is on the specifics of the law in this area together with practical aspects. Both academics and practitioners will find the book an invaluable guide to this ever-expanding field of law. Review of Previous Edition: ‘Overall, Digital Copyright is well worth the relatively modest price for a book that will be stimulating for anyone who has to think about copyright in the digital realm.’ Francis Davey, Journal of Intellectual Property Law and PracticeTrade ReviewThis book provides a concise, introductory guide to digital copyright that also offers practical guidance and further reading for more in-depth analysis. Each chapter concludes with a bullet point summary that helps to make the book accessible and digestible. It would therefore be of interest to those practising, working, researching or studying in the field of digital copyright law. -- Hayleigh Bosher * The IPKat *[A] well-written, authoritative book, supported by numerous references … recommended for legal practitioners and creators and users of digital copyright materials alike. -- Professor Charles Oppenheim * European Intellectual Property Review *Table of Contents1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Contracting and Contract Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Book SynopsisThis book provides original, diverse, and timely insights into the nature, scope, and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially machine learning and natural language processing, in relation to contracting practices and contract law. The chapters feature unique, critical, and in-depth analysis of a range of topical issues, including how the use of AI in contracting affects key principles of contract law (from formation to remedies), the implications for autonomy, consent, and information asymmetries in contracting, and how AI is shaping contracting practices and the laws relating to specific types of contracts and sectors. The contributors represent an interdisciplinary team of lawyers, computer scientists, economists, political scientists, and linguists from academia, legal practice, policy, and the technology sector. The chapters not only engage with salient theories from different disciplines, but also examine current and potential real-world applications and implications of AI in contracting and explore feasible legal, policy, and technological responses to address the challenges presented by AI in this field. The book covers major common and civil law jurisdictions, including the EU, Italy, Germany, UK, US, and China. It should be read by anyone interested in the complex and fast-evolving relationship between AI, contract law, and related areas of law such as business, commercial, consumer, competition, and data protection laws.Table of ContentsPART I FORMATION OF CONTRACT, AUTONOMY AND CONSENT 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Transformations in Criminal Jurisdiction:
Book SynopsisCan traditional approaches to criminal jurisdiction adapt to the new global reality of the digital era? In this innovative book, leading experts in criminal, international and internet law unite to address this fundamental question. They consider how jurisdictional regimes are orientated around concepts of territoriality and extraterritoriality, how these categories are increasingly blurred in the digital era, and how a range of jurisdictional transformations are occurring in the process. Part I presents novel doctrinal, empirical and theoretical perspectives on criminal jurisdiction, exploring how states are shaping and reimagining jurisdictional concepts in the crafting and interpretation of criminal offences, and the ramifications of increasing jurisdictional concurrency in state practice. Part II focuses on the investigative and enforcement powers of the state to assess how these issues are transforming traditional understandings of jurisdictional rules and boundaries, the challenges and opportunities that these present for law enforcement authorities, and the sorts of constraints and safeguards that may be necessary as a result. The picture that emerges is a world of jurisdictional rules in a state of flux, which demands the diversity of legal perspectives presented in this book for documenting, rationalising and moving beyond the transformations that are taking shape in modern statecraft.Table of ContentsIntroduction, Micheál Ó Floinn (University of Glasgow, UK), Lindsay Farmer (University of Glasgow, UK), Julia Hörnle (Queen Mary University of London, UK) and David Ormerod (University College London, UK) Part One: Prescriptive Jurisdiction 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Proportionality in EU Digital Law
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the interplay between the proportionality principle and EU digital law. Does EU digital law provide a fair balance of rights and interests? How does proportionality limit legislation in the digital economy? How can it be used to balance competing rights and interests? Diving into the dialectics of law and technology, the book analyses the relevance of the proportionality principle in regulating the digital world and as a vital tool for balancing competing rights and interests. The chapters analyse how conflicting rights and interests are resolved in EU digital law through the proportionality principle and critically reflect on its application. They scrutinise recent EU regulatory initiatives such as the GDPR, AI Act, Copyright Directive, DSA, and more. They reflect on the unique context of AI systems regulation, digital marketing, and data protection, illuminating the application and impact of proportionality in these arenas.Providing an in-depth examination of legal actors and real-life conflicts resolved by applying EU digital law, the book explains the pivotal role of the principle of proportionality in achieving an optimal balance of rights in our digital era.

You should be reading this.”—Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing“I thoroughly enjoyed this volume from start to finish and recommend it as an excellent addition to any bookshelf.” —Courteney J. O’Connor, LSE Review of Books “If we can just finish the last mile for fiber to reach into households, Susan Crawford shows, we can unleash a revolution of economic growth, education, and health, and address inequality in a whole new way. Crawford shifts effortlessly from the heights of policy to the literal ground level and shows us the way.”—Anthony Marx, President, New York Public Library "By vividly describing a world filled with fiber-enabled technology as well as the perils and possibilities for achieving it, Susan Crawford has written a playbook for a fairer and more prosperous United States."—Andy Berke, Mayor, Chattanooga, Tennessee“Engaging and accessible … An indictment of national regulatory politics and crony capitalism and a love story about the plucky local governments overcoming the odds to bring their own communities into the twenty-first century.

Book SynopsisJonathan Lusthaus lifts the veil on cybercriminals in the most extensive account yet of the lives they lead and the vast international industry they have created. Having traveled to hotspots around the world to meet with hundreds of law enforcement agents, security gurus, hackers, and criminals, he charts how this industry based on anonymity works.Trade ReviewIndustry of Anonymity is an accessible and important work on the organization of cybercrime. No other study provides the depth, breadth, and rigor on this difficult-to-reach community. -- David Skarbek, Brown UniversityWith convincing and compelling arguments, impressive empirical work, balanced explanations, and effective writing, Industry of Anonymity is a remarkable contribution to the literature on cybercrime. Criminology and sociology audiences have been waiting for this kind of book. -- Benoît Dupont, University of MontrealIndustry of Anonymity is without doubt the best exploration of the evolution of cybercrime today.

Offering a wealth of data on the informal arrangements that underpin cooperation among anonymous criminals, Lusthaus puts a face to people who normally hide in the shadows. Industry of Anonymity will be the standard reference for years to come. -- Federico Varese, author of Mafia LifeA timely contribution to a classic sociological problem: the one of social order, expressed in the chance of trusted relationships, cooperation, and governance…A substantial contribution to this conversation in a field that is anything but easy to investigate. -- Matías Dewey * American Journal of Sociology *

Princeton University Press Delete
Book SynopsisLooks at the phenomenon of perfect remembering in the digital age, and reveals why we must reintroduce our capacity to forget. This title traces the important role that forgetting has played throughout human history, from the ability to make sound decisions unencumbered by the past to the possibility of second chances.Trade ReviewWinner of the 2010 Marshall McLuhan Award for Outstanding Book in Media ecology, Media Ecology Association Winner of the 2010 Don K. Price Award, Science, Technology, and Environmental Politics Section of the American Political Science Association "Mayer-Schonberger deserves to be applauded and Delete deserves to be read for making us aware of the timelessness of what we created and for getting us to consider what endless accumulation might portend."--Paul Duguid, Times Literary Supplement "In Delete, Viktor Mayer-Schonberger argues that we should be less troubled by the fleetingness of our digital records than by the way they can linger."--Adam Keiper, Wall Street Journal "Mayer-Schonberger raises questions about the power of technology and how it affects our interpretation of time... He draws on a rich body of contemporary psychological theory to argue that both individuals and societies are obliged to rewrite or eliminate elements of the past that would render action in the present impossible."--Fred Turner, Nature "There is no better source for fostering an informed debate on this issue."--Science "A fascinating book."--Clive Thompson, WIRED Magazine "As its title suggests, Delete is about forgetting, more specifically about the demise of forgetting and the resulting perils... [Mayer-Schonberger] comes up with an interesting solution: expiration dates in electronic files. This would stop the files from existing forever and flooding us and the next generations with gigantic piles of mostly useless or even potentially harmful details. This proposal should not be forgotten as we navigate between the urge to record and immortalise our lives and the need to stay productive and sane."--Yadin Dudai, New Scientist "Delete is a useful recap of the various methods that are--or could be--applied to dealing with the consequences of information abundance. It also adds a thought-provoking new twist to the literature."--Richard Waters, Financial Times "Unlike so many books about the internet, which like to hit the panic button then run, Mayer-Schonberger stays around to offer a solution... Mayer-Schonberger deserves to be applauded and Delete deserves to be read for making us aware of the timelessness of what we create and for getting us to consider what endless accumulation might portend."--Paul Duguid, Times Higher Education "This book ... is laid out like an invitation to such a sparring session. There you find the detailed arguments, spread out one by one. Get ready to highlight where you agree, note contradictions and arguments not carried through to their consequential end, and make annotations where you feel a new punch. The session will be worth the effort."--Herbert Burkert, Cyberlaw "A lively, accessible argument ... that all that stored and shared data is a serious threat to life as we know it."--Jim Willse, Newark Star Ledger "A fascinating work of social and technological criticism... The book explores the ways various technologies has altered the human relationship with memory, shifting us from a society where the default was to forget (and consequently forgive) to one where it is impossible to avoid the ramifications of a permanent record."--Philip Martin, Arkansas Democrat Gazette "Mayer-Schonberger convincingly claims that our new status quo, the impossibility of forgetting, is severely misaligned to how the human brain works, and to how individuals and societies function... Can anything be done? Delete is an accessible, thoughtful and alarming attempt to start debate."--Karlin Lillington, Irish Times "To argue for more forgetting is counter-intuitive to those who value information, history and transparency, but the writer pursues it systematically and thoroughly."--Richard Thwaites, Canberra Times "Surprising and fascinating... Delete opens a highly useful debate."--Robert Fulford, National Post "Delete offers many scary examples of how the control of personal information stored in e-memory can fall into the wrong hands... Lucid, eminently readable."--Winifred Gallagher, Globe and Mail "Delete is one of a number of smart recent books that gently and eruditely warn us of the rising costs and risks of mindlessly diving into new digital environments--without, however, raising apocalyptic fears of the entire project... [Mayer-Schonberger] is a digital enthusiast with a realistic sense of how we might go very wrong by embracing powerful tools before we understand them."--Siva Vaidhyanathan, Chronicle of Higher Education "In this brief book, Mayer-Schonberger focuses on a unique feature of the digital age: contemporaries have lost the capacity to forget. Many books on privacy frequently mention, but never address in detail, the implications of an almost perfect memory system that digital technology and global networks have brought about... An interesting book, well within the reach of the intelligent reader."--Choice "Clearly the conversation has begun, and Delete is well placed to contribute."--Matthew L.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Blockchain Antitrust
Book SynopsisTrade Review'A real masterpiece, brilliantly pressing for a change that is necessary and feasible.' -- Lawrence Lessig, Harvard Law School, US‘As our world becomes increasing digital, both law and code become central to management of rights and access to justice. The two modes of management are often seen as being in conflict, but increasingly far-sighted scholars like Prof. Schrepel are seeing that there are opportunities for synergy. This book is a clear step forward in building a system of digital law that works, and a must-read for those concerned about our digital future.’ -- – Alex ‘Sandy’ Pentland, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US‘From Code of Hammurabi (1754 BC) to the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence this book links a deep understanding of law and technology, Blockchain and Antitrust. It offers a highly appreciated contribution to the Blockchain debate and practical use cases, which are very much needed in often theoretical discussions.’ -- Theodor Thanner, President of the Austrian Federal Competition Authority, Austria‘Grounded in Schrepel's solid understanding of the law and technology debate, this book offers a unique framework and important guide for thinking through the many ways in which Antitrust law and Blockchain technologies can be complementary and create efficiencies from collaboration.’ -- Roland Vogl, CodeX - The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics, US‘Packed with stimulating suggestions and insights, this is the first book exploring the role of competition law in regulating blockchain. Thibault Schrepel skillfully blends an accessible examination of the technology at play with a discussion about how competition law should be applied to both control and support its development.’ -- Giorgio Monti, Tilburg University, the Netherlands‘Traditional financial payment systems run by banks or by tech companies such as PayPal have natural network effects, and are held to be open to some degree of monopoly. Blockchain systems, because they are highly distributed and transparent, are often said to be free of such tendencies. Thibault Schrepel argues this isn’t true: blockchains may foster anticompetitive practices in many ways. As our economic world moves increasingly into cryptocurrencies and blockchain transactions, Schrepel’s analysis and suggested remedies are both timely and important.’ -- W. Brian Arthur, Santa Fe Institute, US‘Data and Antitrust have become a hot button issue. However, as of yet there is little legal scholarly writing on the topic of how blockchain with its promise of data integrity will change this debate. This book tries to do precisely that, and is an incredibly useful read for any legal scholar interested in the digital space.’ -- Catherine Tucker, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US‘Thibault Schrepel’s Blockchain + Antitrust: the Decentralization Formula, is an eminently readable and satisfying examination of the history, technology, and incipient law of Blockchain – from its historical roots in a libertarian search for order, to its complex and often misunderstood internal workings, and finally to the abundant legal concerns that might loom in the future. This book is particularly helpful for someone who needs to be guided through Blockchain’s most important technical and operational elements.’ -- Herbert Hovenkamp, University of Pennsylvania Law School and the Wharton School, US‘By reducing transaction costs and facilitating trust among parties to transactions, blockchains reduce the need for centralized legal structures in economic activity. They also make transactions less transparent to regulators and can be used to harbor anticompetitive practices. Hence they contribute to deconcentrating economic structures and, simultaneously, raise challenges for competition law enforcement. However, competition authorities can also benefit from the blockchain technology in their enforcement activity. Thibault Schrepel in this path-breaking book explores the evolving complex relationship between blockchain and antitrust and the ways they can benefit from one another. This forward-looking and fascinating analysis is a must read for anyone interested in one of the most important technological development of our time.’ -- Frederic Jenny, OECD Competition Committee, France‘More than any other field of business law, antitrust has much in common with emerging blockchain technologies. Dr. Schrepel has been at the forefront of research in the relationship between these two fields. His hopeful approach, as discussed in this book, towards a mutually beneficial relationship between antitrust law amd blockchain technology will help ensure maximal realization of the efficiency-enhancing promise of blockchain – namely, lowering the costs of networking and increasing transparency. Moreover, this book does an excellent job of discussing both the procompetitive (favored by the antitrust laws) attributes of blockchain and its ability to facilitate anticompetitive harm (outlawed by the antitrust laws), and showing how the law and the emerging technology can live in harmony to the benefit of consumers. I was proud, as head of the DOJ Antitrust Division, to have the Division join Dr. Schrepel’s academic project on this topic and look forward to his continued contributions to this important emerging field.’ -- Makan Delrahim, Department of Justice Antitrust Division, US‘This book is the first of its kind. Schrepel’s work will no doubt appeal to antitrusters looking for a didactic introduction to the blockchain. It will also be of more general interest to any reader with a concern for the future of law and public policy in a technology-driven world. A must-read.’ -- Nicolas Petit, European University Institute, Italy‘Blockchain technology has been offered as a solution to any number of problems, and sometimes – to its detriment – as a panacea. Here, Schrepel follows the thread of decentralization to explore this technology alongside the goals of antitrust law.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Influence Operations in Cyberspace and the
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Peter Pijpers has dug deep into the question of influence operations in cyberspace, which are politically abhorred but often do not break any major laws – neither domestically nor internationally. Zooming in on international law Pijpers warns about a lack of legal clarity that creates a legal grey zone that malign States eagerly exploit. His solution to this problem is a well-argued plea to reconceptualise coercion in cyberspace and draw a line in the sand.’ -- Dennis Broeders, Leiden University, the Netherlands‘Professor Pijpers combines a unique combination of a legal and a strategic framework to assess the legality and the modus operandi of digital influence operations directed against political systems. The legal framework involves non-intervention and sovereignty. The strategic framework offers valuable insight into the use of state power to persuade, coerce or manipulate foreign audiences.’ -- Paul Ducheine, University of Amsterdam, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Cornell University Press The TwentySix Words That Created the Internet
Book Synopsis"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."Did you know that these twenty-six words are responsible for much of America's multibillion-dollar online industry? What we can and cannot write, say, and do online is based on...Trade ReviewKosseff has a thorough grasp of his material, and readers will find his exploration of Section 230 balanced, timely, and consistently thought-provoking. * Publishers Weekly *Kosseff's book is timely, given the intensifying debate about whether Congress should find ways to hold Internet companies accountable for third-party speech that harms individuals and society as a whole. But the book's value goes beyond timing. The author's background as a journalist and his current roles as a professor and a lawyer enable him to produce an engaging narrative that explains the law clearly and compels us to think about speech in the modern age and who is responsible when it is harmful. * The Washington Post *Americans are of two minds about the internet: They rely on it and fear it, they immerse themselves in it for hours and deplore its social consequences. Jeff Kosseff's The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet is in many ways the story of how and why this happened. * The Wall Street Journal *Kosseff presents an insider's account of the current dispute over whether a website should be permitted to profit from publishing advertisements that sell illegal sexual services possibly performed by minors. This book is extremely timely as both US lawmakers and the nation's courts are struggling over the proper regulation of online hate speech, fake news, political bias, and other systematic manipulations employing this increasingly powerful form of communication. * Choice *An important history of one component of the rise of the Internet as a business.
