Additive manufacturing or '3D printing' has emerged into the
mainstream in the last few years, with much hype about its
revolutionary potential as the latest 'disruptive technology' to
destroy existing business models, empower individuals and evade any
kind of government control. This book examines the trajectory of 3D
printing in practice and how it interacts with various areas of
law, including intellectual property, product liability, gun laws,
data privacy and fundamental/constitutional rights. A particular
comparison is made between 3D printing and the Internet as this has
been, legally-speaking, another 'disruptive technology' and also
one on which 3D printing is partially dependent. This book is the
first expert analysis of 3D printing from a legal perspective and
provides a critical assessment of the extent to which existing
legal regimes can be successfully applied to, and enforced
vis-a-vis, 3D printing.

This monograph examines how European Union law and regulation
address concentrations of private economic power which impede free
information flows on the Internet to the detriment of Internet
users' autonomy. In particular, competition law, sector specific
regulation (if it exists), data protection and human rights law are
considered and assessed to the extent they can tackle such
concentrations of power for the benefit of users. Using a series of
illustrative case studies, of Internet provision, search, mobile
devices and app stores, and the cloud, the work demonstrates the
gaps that currently exist in EU law and regulation. It is argued
that these gaps exist due, in part, to current overarching trends
guiding the regulation of economic power, namely neoliberalism, by
which only the situation of market failure can invite ex ante
rules, buoyed by the lobbying of regulators and legislators by
those in possession of such economic power to achieve outcomes
which favour their businesses. Given this systemic, and
extra-legal, nature of the reasons as to why the gaps exist,
solutions from outside the system are proposed at the end of each
case study. This study will appeal to EU competition lawyers and
media lawyers.
