Since the last edition ten years ago the pace of technological and
legal change has stepped up even more than before with previous
editions. New legislation is in force such as the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK Data Protection Act 1998 and
from 1 January 2021 "UKGDPR". The UK Information Commissioner has
been looking closely at "Ad Tech" and what has become known as "big
data" and how data are gathered on-line. Intellectual Property law
in the ecommerce area has also changed. There is a very recently
agreed new EU copyright directive which is due to be implemented in
the 27 EU member states (but not the UK) in 2021. The post-Brexit
transition period expired on 31 December 2020 which has
implications for the application of ecommerce law in a number of
different areas which are all addressed in the new addition. The
2010 EU vertical regulation and guidelines have recently been built
on with the EU "geo-blocking" regulation and the related EU
Commission's initiatives in relation to ecommerce in the anti-trust
area. In 2020 the UK implemented changes in relation to EU law in
the revised 2018 Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMS)
through the Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2020 which are
addressed in the new edition as post-Brexit the UK is retaining
this legislation. Other updates include the distance selling
legislation in the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation
and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights
Act 2015 which came into force since the last edition.
