This book explains how major world economies are recognizing the
need for a major push in cyber policy environments. It helps
readers understand why these nations are committing substantial
resources to cybersecurity, and to the development of standards,
rules and guidelines in order to address cyber-threats and catch up
with global trends and technological developments. A key focus is
on specific countries' engagement in cyberattacks and the
development of cyber-warfare capabilities. Further, the book
demonstrates how a nation's technological advancement may not
necessarily lead to cyber-superiority. It covers cybersecurity
issues with regard to conflicts that shape relationships between
major economies, and explains how attempts to secure the cyber
domain have been hampered by the lack of an international consensus
on key issues and concepts. The book also reveals how some
economies are now facing a tricky trade-off between economically
productive uses of emerging technologies and an enhanced
cybersecurity profile. In the context of current paradigms related
to the linkages between security and trade/investment, it also
delves into new perspectives that are being brought to light by
emerging cybersecurity issues.
This book focuses on database law (a branch of intellectual
property law) and further explores the legal protection currently
available for data and data-related products in India. It offers a
comparative study of the position of copyright law in protecting
databases in the US and EU, while also presenting responses from
the Indian database industry and its aspirations regarding the role
of copyright law in database protection. India is undoubtedly
leading the way as a knowledge economy. Its strengths are its
information technology capability and its knowledge society, as
well as its booming database industry - aspects that also
necessitate the study of the role of law, as well as the protection
of data and databases, in India. This book examines the growing
importance of copyright law for protecting databases as well as for
ensuring access in information societies. The book concludes with a
discussion of key principles to be kept in mind in the context of
drafting legal regimes for databases in India that will both
benefit the database industry and ensure accessibility.

communication technologies and biotech innovations such as freedom
of expression, right to health, knowledge production, Internet
content regulation, accessibility and freedom of scientific

This volume focuses on the responsibilities of online service
providers (OSPs) in contemporary societies. It examines the
complexity and global dimensions of the rapidly evolving and
serious challenges posed by the exponential development of Internet
services and resources. It looks at the major actors - such as
Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Yahoo! - and their significant
influence on the informational environment and users' interactions
within it, as well as the responsibilities and liabilities such
influence entails. It discusses the position of OSPs as information
gatekeepers and how they have gone from offering connecting and
information-sharing services to paying members to providing open,
free infrastructure and applications that facilitate digital
expression and the communication of information. The book seeks
consensus on the principles that should shape OSPs'
responsibilities and practices, taking into account business ethics
and policies. Finally, it discusses the rights of users and
international regulations that are in place or currently lacking.

and values in (upcoming) data protection regulation and their
(in)adequacy in view of developments such as Big and Open Data,
including the right to be forgotten, metadata, and anonymity. It
discusses privacy promoting methods and tools such as a formal
systems modeling methodology, privacy by design in various forms
(robotics, anonymous payment), the opportunities and burdens of
privacy self management, the differentiating role privacy can play
in innovation. The book also discusses EU policies with respect to
Big and Open Data and provides advice to policy makers regarding
these topics. Also attention is being paid to regulation and its
effects, for instance in case of the so-called 'EU-cookie law' and
groundbreaking cases, such as Europe v. Facebook. This
interdisciplinary book was written during what may turn out to be
the final stages of the process of the fundamental revision of the
current EU data protection law by the Data Protection Package
proposed by the European Commission. It discusses open issues and
daring and prospective approaches. It will serve as an insightful
resource for readers with an interest in privacy and data
protection.
