This book looks at two technological advancements in the area of
e-commerce, which dramatically seem to change the way consumers
shop online. In particular, they automate certain crucial tasks
inherent in the 'shopping' activity, thereby relieving consumers of
having to perform them. These are shopping agents (or comparison
tools) and automated marketplaces. It scrutinizes their underlying
processes and the way they serve the consumer, thereby highlighting
risks and issues associated with their use. The ultimate aim is to
ascertain whether the current EU regulatory framework relating to
consumer protection, e-commerce, data protection and security
adequately addresses the relevant risks and issues, thus affording
a 'safe' shopping environment to the e-consumer.

With the ongoing evolution of the digital society challenging the
boundaries of the law, new questions are arising - and new answers
being given - even now, almost three decades on from the digital
revolution. Written by a panel of legal specialists and edited by
experts on EU Internet law, this book provides an overview of the
most recent developments affecting the European Internet legal
framework, specifically focusing on four current debates. Firstly,
it discusses the changes in online copyright law, especially after
the enactment of the new directive on the single digital market.
Secondly, it analyzes the increasing significance of artificial
intelligence in our daily life. The book then addresses emerging
issues in EU digital law, exploring out of the box approaches in
Internet law. It also presents the last cyber-criminality law
trends (offenses, international instrument, behaviors), and
discusses the evolution of personal data protection. Lastly, it
evaluates the degree of consumer and corporate protection in the
digital environment, demonstrating that now, more than ever, EU
Internet law is based on a combination of copyright, civil,
administrative, criminal, commercial and banking laws.
