Internet Intermediaries and Trade Mark Rights (Routledge Research in Intellectual Property)
by Althaf MarsoofDespite the apparent advantages of the internet, there is little debate that it facilitates intellectual property infringements, including infringements of trade mark rights. Infringers not only remain hidden by the anonymity the internet provides but also take advantage of its increasing reach and the associated challenges with regard to cross-border enforcement of rights. These factors, among others, have rendered the internet a growing source of counterfeit and other infringing products. It has, therefore, become necessary for right holders to shift their focus from individual infringers to internet intermediaries, such as Internet Service Providers (ISPs), hosts and navigation providers, which are responsible in numerous ways for making content promoting infringements available to internet users. In light of these developments, this book conducts a comprehensive analysis of the liability of such intermediaries for trade mark infringements and considers the associated issues and challenges in the diverging approaches under which liability may be imposed. At present, however, neither UK trade mark law nor English common-law principles relating to accessorial liability provide a basis to hold internet intermediaries liable for trade mark infringements. As such, this book considers approaches adopted in some of the Continental European countries and the US in order to propose reforms aimed at addressing gaps in the existing legal framework. This book also examines alternative remedies, such as notice and takedown and injunctions, and discusses the associated shortcomings of each of these remedies.

The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is: A History, a Philosophy, a Warning
by Justin E. SmithAn original deep history of the internet that tells the story of the centuries-old utopian dreams behind it—and explains why they have died todayMany think of the internet as an unprecedented and overwhelmingly positive achievement of modern human technology. But is it? In The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is, Justin Smith offers an original deep history of the internet, from the ancient to the modern world—uncovering its surprising origins in nature and centuries-old dreams of radically improving human life by outsourcing thinking to machines and communicating across vast distances. Yet, despite the internet’s continuing potential, Smith argues, the utopian hopes behind it have finally died today, killed by the harsh realities of social media, the global information economy, and the attention-destroying nature of networked technology.Ranging over centuries of the history and philosophy of science and technology, Smith shows how the “internet” has been with us much longer than we usually think. He draws fascinating connections between internet user experience, artificial intelligence, the invention of the printing press, communication between trees, and the origins of computing in the machine-driven looms of the silk industry. At the same time, he reveals how the internet’s organic structure and development root it in the natural world in unexpected ways that challenge efforts to draw an easy line between technology and nature.Combining the sweep of intellectual history with the incisiveness of philosophy, The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is cuts through our daily digital lives to give a clear-sighted picture of what the internet is, where it came from, and where it might be taking us in the coming decades.
Internet Jurisdiction Law and Practice
by Julia HörnleFrom a technological standpoint, geography is largely irrelevant. Data flows through the internet without regard for political borders or territories. Services, communication, and interaction can occur online between persons who may be in different countries. Illegal activities, like hacking, cyberespionage, propagating terrorist propaganda, defamation, revenge porn, and illegal marketplaces may all be remotely targeted and accessed from various countries. As such, the internet has created an interesting and complex set of challenges for the concept of jurisdiction and conflicts of law. This title takes a comparative approach covering the EU, UK, US, Germany, and China. Broken into four parts, this book delves into the notion of jurisdiction as it relates to the internet. Part I focuses on the different meanings of the concept of jurisdiction, from a legal and historical perspective, and distinguishing between the different branches of government. It will highlight the challenges created by the internet, including social media and cloud computing. Part II analyses criminal jurisdiction, in regards to both jurisdictions in cybercrime cases and jurisdictional issues relating to criminal investigations (access to the cloud) and enforcement. Part III examines jurisdiction and applicable law in civil and commercial matters, such as e-commerce B2B and B2C contracts, torts typically occurring online, and online defamation and privacy infringement. Finally, Part IV looks at regulatory jurisdiction, examining the power of the executive (whether an arm of government or independent regulator) to apply and enforce national law. It will look at aspects like the provision of online audio-visual media services and online gambling services, both of which are heavily regulated, but which can be easily provided remotely from different jurisdictions. The book concludes by analysing how the concept of jurisdiction should be adapted to ensure the rule of law by nation states and prevent international conflicts between states. This title gives a comprehensive look at the complicated subject of internet jurisdiction, essential for all dealing with jurisdictions in the modern age.

Internet Law
by Michael O'DohertyThe law in Ireland regarding causes of action involving the internet is a rapidly growing area of law and litigation. This book examines issues such as privacy, data protection, defamation, data protection, crime, intellectual property and employment, all through the prism of online behaviour. This book examines key pieces of legislation such as the E-Commerce Directive, GDPR, and Defamation Act 2009; forthcoming legislation such as the Digital Content Directive and proposed Irish legislation to combat harmful online content.With Ireland being the European base of many international IT and tech firms such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Amazon and Twitter, it is anticipated that the Irish courts will be the forum for many important cases in the near future. Internet Law provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the law in Ireland, EU Member States, and other common law countries such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. And in such a fast-developing area of law, the book also anticipates many of the issues that will face courts in the near future. Key cases that this book considers include: Data protection:Google Spain [2014] – an in depth review of what exactly this case established, and the manner in which it has been interpreted in subsequent case law.Lloyd v Google [2019] – in which the English Court of Appeal made a significant finding about the availability of damages for non-pecuniary loss arising from the breach of a person's data protection rights. Defamation: Monroe v Hopkins [2017] - the first UK case to consider at length defamation on Twitter, with an in-depth analysis of meaning, identification and how to assess the degree of publication via that medium. Eva Glawischnig-Piesczech v Facebook [2019] – a significant recent decision of the CJEU on the liability of social media platforms for content posted by its users.Copyright: Sony Music v UPC [2018] - a Court of Appeal judgment on the duties of internet service providers to restrict the illegal downloading of copyright material by its customers.Land Nordrhein-Westfalen v Renckhoff [2018] - a recent decision of the CJEU on the nature of copyright protection attaching to photographs which are uploaded to the internet.Trade Marks:Interflora Inc v Marks and Spencer plc [2011] - a decision of the CJEU which analyses the rights of an advertiser to use the trade mark of a rival company when promoting its services on the Google Ads service. Employment: Barbulescu v Romania [2017] - a significant CJEU decision which sets out the restrictions to an employer's right to monitor the electronic communications of its employees. Privacy/ Harassment: CG v Facebook [2016], in which the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal considered the tort of harassment via social media, and the potential liability of Facebook for comments made by a user following notification of the alleged harassment. Evidence:Martin & Ors v Gabriele Giambrone P/A Giambrone & Law [2013]- one of several cases to consider the admissibility of evidence taken by a defendant from a plaintiff's social media account in order to question the latter's testimony.
Internet Law: A Concise Guide to Regulation Around the World
by Edward J. SwanThe Internet is a world of its own, independent of any country. Its regulation encompasses a complex and frequently changing collection of international agreements, national legislation, local laws, regulations, and commercial customs affecting many areas of legal practice. This book provides a succinct, invaluable guide to the development and scope of regulation of the Internet around the world. For each of nine key market jurisdictions—the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore—the author clearly describes and analyzes how courts and regulators treat Internet activity in terms of the following: what should be available via the Internet; what should not be available; how transactions should be conducted; how disputes should be resolved; and how violations of laws and regulations should be treated. Separate chapters discuss the role of Internet regulation in matters involving intellectual property, competition, privacy and data protection, artificial intelligence, cybercurrency, cybercrime, and cyberwarfare. With its extensive review of protections available to international Internet businesses and its insights into the direction that Internet regulation is taking around the world, this up-to-date fund of practical knowledge about this rapidly developing regulatory landscape both globally and at national and local levels will be welcomed by practitioners, regulators, policymakers, Internet companies, Internet users, and academics for its information about the numerous areas of law relating to the Internet.
Internet of Things: Legal Perspectives
by Rolf H. Weber Romana WeberThe Internet of Things as an emerging global Internet-based information archit- ture facilitating the exchange of goods and services is gradually developing. While the technology of the Internet of Things is still being discussed and created, the legal framework should be established before the Internet of Things is fully operable, in order to allow for an efective introduction of the new information architecture. If a self-regulatory approach is to be adopted to provide a legal framework for the Internet of Things, and this seems preferable, rulemakers can draw on experiences from the current regime of Internet governance. In the near future, mainly businesses will operate in the Internet of Things. Civil society is only expected to make use of the Internet of Things, as it now does of the Internet, at a later stage (e.g. for healthcare). The Internet of Things will have an impact in various areas. The regulatory fra- work must provide for provisions ensuring the security of the structure as well as the privacy of its users. Furthermore, legal barriers that may stand in the way of the coming into operation of the Internet of Things will have to be considered. However, the Internet of Things will also have positive efects in diferent felds, such as the inclusion of developing countries in global trade, the use of search engines to the beneft of civil society, combating product counterfeiting, tackling environmental concerns, improving health conditions, securing food supply and monitoring compliance with labor standards.
Internet of Things and the Law: Legal Strategies for Consumer-Centric Smart Technologies (Routledge Research in the Law of Emerging Technologies)
by Guido Noto La DiegaInternet of Things and the Law: Legal Strategies for Consumer-Centric Smart Technologies is the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the legal issues in the Internet of Things (IoT). For decades, the decreasing importance of tangible wealth and power – and the increasing significance of their disembodied counterparts – has been the subject of much legal research. For some time now, legal scholars have grappled with how laws drafted for tangible property and predigital ‘offline’ technologies can cope with dematerialisation, digitalisation, and the internet. As dematerialisation continues, this book aims to illuminate the opposite movement: rematerialisation, namely, the return of data, knowledge, and power within a physical ‘smart’ world. This development frames the book’s central question: can the law steer rematerialisation in a human-centric and socially just direction? To answer it, the book focuses on the IoT, the sociotechnological phenomenon that is primarily responsible for this shift. After a thorough analysis of how existing laws can be interpreted to empower IoT end users, Noto La Diega leaves us with the fundamental question of what happens when the law fails us and concludes with a call for collective resistance against ‘smart’ capitalism.

Internet Policy and Economics: Challenges and Perspectives (Topics In Regulatory Economics And Policy Ser. #43)
by William H. Lehr Lorenzo Maria PupilloFor over a decade, William Lehr, Lorenzo Pupillo, and their colleagues in academia, industry, and policy have been on the electronic frontier, exploring the implications of the technologies that are revolutionizing communication and culture. In 2002, Cyber Policy and Economics in an Internet Age featured essays that focused on such emerging economic and policy-related issues of universal access, appropriate content, spectrum allocation, taxation, consumer protection, and regulation, with respect to the Internet. In this fully revised and updated edition, entitled Internet Policy and Economics: Challenges and Perspectives, the editors and contributors tackle the most current topics and issues, as the Internet continues to permeate all facets of society. New chapters cover dynamics in the developing world, the implications of e-commerce for fiscal policy, and the impact of peer-to-peer networks on music and the arts, as well as debates over intellectual property rights, privacy issues, and cybercrime. Applying insights from economics, political science, law, business, and communications, the book will serve as essential resource for researchers and students, policymakers and regulators, and industry analysts and practitioners.
Internet Privacy: Eine multidisziplinäre Bestandsaufnahme/ A multidisciplinary analysis (acatech STUDIE)
by Johannes BuchmannDas Internet ist eine der bedeutendsten technologischen Errungenschaften der Geschichte. Es erlaubt Menschen in aller Welt Zugang zu umfassenden Informationen, unterstützt die weltweite Kommunikation und Vernetzung und fungiert als globaler Marktplatz. Dabei bieten die vielfältigen Angebote im Internet jedoch nicht nur Chancen; sie werfen auch Fragen des Datenschutzes, der Persönlichkeitsentfaltung und der Privatsphäre auf. Dieses Phänomen wird gemeinhin als das Privatheitsparadoxon bezeichnet.Aufgrund der großen Bedeutung von Privatheit im Internet hat acatech 2011 ein Projekt initiiert, das sich mit dem Privatheitsparadoxon wissenschaftlich auseinandersetzt. Dieser Band ist der erste Teil einer acatech STUDIE zum Projekt „Internet Privacy – Eine Kultur der Privatsphäre und des Vertrauens im Internet“. Die Autoren leisten eine Bestandsaufnahme der existierenden individuellen und gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen von Privatsphäre im Internet sowie der entsprechenden rechtlichen, technischen, ökonomischen und ethischen Rahmenbedingungen.
Internet Privacy: Options for adequate realisation (acatech STUDIE)
by Johannes BuchmannA thorough multidisciplinary analysis of various perspectives on internet privacy was published as the first volume of a study, revealing the results of the achatech project "Internet Privacy - A Culture of Privacy and Trust on the Internet." The second publication from this project presents integrated, interdisciplinary options for improving privacy on the Internet utilising a normative, value-oriented approach. The ways in which privacy promotes and preconditions fundamental societal values and how privacy violations endanger the flourishing of said values are exemplified. The conditions which must be fulfilled in order to achieve a culture of privacy and trust on the internet are illuminated. This volume presents options for policy-makers, educators, businesses and technology experts how to facilitate solutions for more privacy on the Internet and identifies further research requirements in this area.
Internet Regulation and the International Trade Regime (China Perspectives)
by Sun NanxiangIn the age of information, an open Internet is a key component for modern economic development. This book analyses the World Trade Organization Agreement for virtual society and explores key questions regarding internet regulation and trade barriers. Information and communication technology has introduced a transformational element to international trade, in the shape of E-commerce. Although internet technology is conceptually neutral, it can be used as a medium that poses severe threats to individual rights, public morals, public order, and national security. World Trade Organization law and jurisprudence, which are the basis of global economic and trade rules, can be applied in the cyberspace but internet regulatory measures can also pose a threat to free trade. This book thus explores the following questions: whether internet regulation constitutes a trade barrier; if so, what form does that take; and whether WTO members can invoke exception clauses to justify their internet regulatory measures? The research provides deep interpretations on treaty law, case law, and draws on additional interdisciplinary approaches to answer these questions. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of law, with a focus on International trade and internet regulation, as well as anyone interested in China’s Cyber law.

Internet Service Provider Liability for Copyright and Trade Mark Infringement: Towards an EU Co-Regulatory Framework
by Zoi KrokidaThis book critically evaluates the EU regulatory framework for the liability of host Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for copyright and trade mark infringements and provides a cluster of novel recommendations for its improvement. The book recommends the imposition of a duty of care to host ISPs to curb the dissemination of unauthorised works and counterfeit goods, the ascription of a transparency obligation to host ISPs towards their users, and the establishment of a supervisory authority for host ISPs.Host ISPs have facilitated the dissemination of content amongst users and the purchase of goods online, enabling copyright holders and brand owners to attract a greater audience for their works and goods. However, their services have attracted a high number of copyright and trade mark violations, too. Neither Article 14 of the e-Commerce Directive nor Article 17 of the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive provide a solid response to the issue of host ISPs' liability. This book is a valuable resource for researchers in IT and IP law and offers a new perspective for resolving online IP disputes.

The Internet Trap: How the Digital Economy Builds Monopolies and Undermines Democracy
by Matthew HindmanA book that challenges everything you thought you knew about the online economyThe internet was supposed to fragment audiences and make media monopolies impossible. Instead, behemoths like Google and Facebook now dominate the time we spend online—and grab all the profits from the attention economy. The Internet Trap explains how this happened. This provocative and timely book sheds light on the stunning rise of the digital giants and the online struggles of nearly everyone else—and reveals what small players can do to survive in a game that is rigged against them.Matthew Hindman shows how seemingly tiny advantages in attracting users can snowball over time. The internet has not reduced the cost of reaching audiences—it has merely shifted who pays and how. Challenging some of the most enduring myths of digital life, Hindman explains why the internet is not the postindustrial technology that has been sold to the public, how it has become mathematically impossible for grad students in a garage to beat Google, and why net neutrality alone is no guarantee of an open internet. He also explains why the challenges for local digital news outlets and other small players are worse than they appear and demonstrates what it really takes to grow a digital audience and stay alive in today’s online economy.The Internet Trap shows why, even on the internet, there is still no such thing as a free audience.

Internet und Internationales Privatrecht: Zu den internationalen Dimensionen des Rechts im Electronic Commerce (Evolaris #1)
by Markus FallenböckDer Begriff des Electronic Commerce, als jede Form des Geschäftsverkehrs, der im oder über das Internet seine Dienste abwickelt, ist mittlerweile Allgemeingut geworden. Vielfach wird dabei aber übersehen, dass das Thema nicht nur hoch aktuell, sondern zumindest im gleichen Ausmaß auch juristisch anspruchsvoll ist. Über das rein Fachjuristische weit hinausgehend, ist in diesem Bereich vielfach ein Verständnis technischer Fragen zur Problemlösung erforderlich. Beides verbindet der Autor in hohem Maß. Neben prägnanten Erläuterungen der für die Behandlung juristischer Probleme notwendigen technischen Begriffe, bietet er dogmatisch fundierte Lösungen für in diesem Bereich auftretende Rechtsfragen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt in jenem Bereich, der die Grundlage jedes grenzüberschreitenden Geschäftsverkehrs darstellt: dem Internationalen Schuldvertragsrecht. Zentraler Aspekt sind die Wechselwirkungen im Internationalen Schuldvertragsrecht und Europäischen Gemeinschaftsrecht. Zusätzlich wird die US-amerikanische Situation beleuchtet, die gerade bei diesem Thema interessante Parallelen, aber auch Gegensätze aufweist.
Internet und Partizipation in Kommunen: Strategien des optimalen Kommunikations-Mix (Wirtschaftswissenschaften)
by Christoph WesselmannChristoph Wesselmann zeigt in seiner Studie auf, dass technische Eleganz in der Internet-Kommunikation kein primär anzustrebendes Ziel ist. Er empfiehlt, einen optimalen Kommunikations-Mix mit den "alten" Kommunikationstechniken anzustreben.
Internetquellen im Zivilprozess (Juridicum - Schriften zum Zivilprozessrecht)
by Georg Alexander HaasInternetquellen spielen in der Praxis der deutschen Zivilgerichte eine wichtige Rolle. Gleichzeitig sind die Grundlagen und Voraussetzungen ihrer Berücksichtigung weitgehend ungeklärt. Vielfach wird das Rechtsinstitut der Offenkundigkeit gemäß § 291 ZPO herangezogen, um gerichtliche Internetrecherchen zu legitimieren. Dem widerspricht Georg Haas anhand einer umfassenden Auslegung der Vorschrift und zeigt auf, dass die Berücksichtigung von Internetquellen grundsätzlich im Rahmen des Beweisverfahrens zu erfolgen hat. Auf dieser Grundlage kann sich eine Befugnis des Gerichts zu Internetrecherchen insbesondere aus den Regeln über die Beweisaufnahme von Amts wegen ergeben. Diese Befunde werden durch eine rechtsvergleichende Untersuchung des US-amerikanischen Zivilprozessrechts erhärtet. Zudem zeigen die Erkenntnisse aus dem Bereich der Kognitionspsychologie, dass unbeschränkte richterliche (Internet-)Recherchen erhebliche Risiken bergen.
Internetrecht: Zivilrechtliche Rahmenbedingungen des elektronischen Geschäftsverkehrs (Springer Notes Rechtswissenschaft)
by R. Heidinger M. Nemetz M. Neubauer F. Philapitsch A. WiebeDas von Mitarbeitern der Abteilung für Informations- und Immaterialgüterrecht der Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien erstellte Skriptum behandelt die wichtigsten Rechtsfragen der Internetnutzung aus zivilrechtlicher Sicht. Dazu gehören die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen bei Einrichtung und Betrieb eines Internetauftritts: das Recht der Domain-Namen, Werbe- und Wettbewerbsrecht, Urheber- und Datenbankrecht im Kontext der digitalen Werknutzung (u.a. Schutz von Webseiten, digitale Privatkopie, Hyperlinks), Vertragsschluss und Verbraucherschutz im E-Commerce ebenso wie die zivilrechtliche Haftung für Informationen, Providerverträge, Haftungsfragen bei Tauschbörsen, Internet-Auktionen und der rechtliche Schutz von DRM-Systemen. Es basiert auf österreichischem Recht; da jedoch der Großteil der rechtlichen Grundlagen auf europäischen Richtlinien beruht und die Autoren zudem durchgehend die Rechtsprechung und Literatur in Deutschland berücksichtigen, ist dieser Band auch für Leser in Deutschland von Nutzen.
Internetrecht: Grundlagen - Streitfragen - Aktuelle Entwicklungen
by Sven HetmankDas Internet ist mit seiner nahezu unüberblickbaren Fülle an Informationen und Möglichkeiten das zentrale Medium der globalen Informationsgesellschaft geworden. Indem die Neuerungen der modernen Kommunikationstechnik, wie etwa Digitalisierung und weltweite Vernetzung in allen Lebensbereichen zu tiefgreifenden Veränderungen führen, wird auch das Recht in seiner Funktion als Ordnungsrahmen und Steuerungsinstrument mit völlig neuen Problemen konfrontiert. In dem Buch werden die vielfältigen und bisweilen auch komplexen Zusammenhänge des Internetrechts anschaulich, aber auch umfassend dargestellt. Neben der Darstellung der bei der Nutzung des Internets auftretenden spezifischen Rechtsfragen bietet das Werk Hinweise und Beispiele zu wichtigen Streitfragen und aktuellen Entwicklungen. Schwerpunkte sind insbesondere internetspezifische Rechtsfragen des Vertragsrechts sowie des Marken-, Urheber-, Datenschutz-, Wettbewerbs- und Haftungsrechts.
