From 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.
