How will law, regulation and ethics govern a future of
fast-changing technologies? 'From current controversies over
Internet content, privacy and radicalisation, to science fiction
and Black Mirror visions of the future, pervasive fears exist that
technology inevitably outpaces law and social control' 'Future Law'
responds to these fears by exploring how law and ethics can foresee
and control new technologies that challenge our societal norms and
expectations. Bringing together cutting-edge authors from academia,
legal practice and the technology industry, this book explores and
leverages the power of human imagination in understanding,
critiquing and improving the legal responses to technological
change.
This comprehensive textbook by the editor of Law and the Internet
seeks to provide students, practitioners and businesses with an
up-to-date and accessible account of the key issues in internet law
and policy from a European and UK perspective. The internet has
advanced in the last 20 years from an esoteric interest to a vital
and unavoidable part of modern work, rest and play. As such, an
account of how the internet and its users are regulated is vital
for everyone concerned with the modern information society. This
book also addresses the fact that internet regulation is not just a
matter of law but increasingly intermixed with technology,
economics and politics. Policy developments are closely analysed as
an intrinsic part of modern governance. Law, Policy and the
Internet focuses on two key areas: e-commerce, including the role
and responsibilities of online intermediaries such as Google,
Facebook and Uber; and privacy, data protection and online crime.
In particular there is detailed up-to-date coverage of the
crucially important General Data Protection Regulation which came
into force in May 2018.
This is the third edition of a successful book which offers
students and practitioners an up-to-date overview of developments
in Internet law and practice. The editors have once again assembled
a team of specialist authors to write about those aspects of
Internet law which are of special importance in the global
regulation of the Internet and focussed around three principal
themes- e-commerce, intellectual property, and privacy, data
protection and cyber-crime with, in addition a major contribution
on Internet Governance. This edition incorporates for the first
time areas such as data protection, privacy and electronic
surveillance, cyber crime and cyber security, jurisdiction and
dispute resolution online. The sectionon IP contains clear and
comprehensive analysis of the many and varied ways in which IP and
the internet intersect including open source licenses and the IP
problems around search engines. The new edition also takes account
of all current cases and legislation, including the draft revised
EC Telecoms Package and the Audio Visual Media Services Directive.
This book will be essential reading for students, teachers and
practitioners interested in Internet law and practice as well as
technologists and social scientists. 'The book is easy to read,
and...has been well edited...and flows smoothly through the various
topics...the book provides a worthwhile overview of this developing
area of law throughout the world.' Peter Walsh, International Trade
Law Annual 'a thorough and stimulating survey...a good introduction
for lawyers and students approaching Internet and e-commerce law
for the first time, and a useful course text.' Brian Hutchinson,
The Irish Jurist
How can law ethically regulate a future of fast-changing
technologies? From recent inventions to science fiction, Future Law
explores how law, ethics and regulation must respond to new
technologies that challenge the boundaries of our ethics.
This collection of essays by well known specialists in e-commerce
and Internet law, drawn from both academe and practice, analyses
recent crucial legislation which has created, for the first time, a
legal regime governing European electronic commerce. The central
focus is on the European Electronic Commerce Directive and its
implementation in the UK since August 2002. The E-Commerce
Directive develops a distinctive European strategy for regulating
and promoting on-line business and the information society. Areas
of the Directive analysed include contracting on-line, Internet
service provider liability, consumer privacy including spam and
'cookies', country of origin regulation, and on-line alternative
dispute resolution (ODR). Further chapters move beyond the
Directive to discuss other important new laws in this domain,
including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive, the
Distance Selling Directives, the Electronic Money Directive, the
Lawful Business regulations on employee surveillance, the
disability discrimination rules affecting websites and the
extension of VAT to on-line transactions. Both the European
framework and the rules as implemented in the UK are examined and
critiqued for how well they meet the needs of business and
consumers.
