The spectacular success of electronic commerce in recent years has
seen an explosion in the availability of information and
entertainment products on the Internet. This distribution of
`content' is expected to continue as one of the major sources of
growth on the Internet in the years ahead, raising concerns over
the protection of content owners' rights. While the complex
copyright problems of the Internet have generated plenty of
literature and legislative initiatives, many important issues still
remain unresolved. Rights holders in the online marketplace thus
remain vulnerable to digital piracy and other forms of unauthorised
use. Concerns over the effectiveness of the copyright system in a
digital environment have inspired content providers to look for
alternative protection regimes or strategies. These alternatives,
such as the protection afforded by contract law and information
technology, comprise important elements of the Electronic Copyright
Management System (ECMS), a fully automated system of secure
distribution, rights management, monitoring and payment of
copyright-protected content currently being developed. Perhaps the
largest multidisciplinary study conducted on ECMS to date is the
IMPRIMATUR project, which was subsidised by the European
Commission's Esprit Programme, and for which the Institute for
Information Law of the University of Amsterdam (IViR) produced a
series of legal studies. This volume collects six fully revised and
updated studies relating to copyright and electronic commerce which
have resulted from the IViR's research. As well as examining the
legal issues crucial to the development of electronic copyright
management systems, the contributions address issues with wider
implications for the law of copyright in general. Other aspects of
information law are also considered, such as defamation, data
protection, privacy and freedom of expression and information, as
are general questions of contract and tort law.
