This open access contributed volume examines the ethical and legal foundations of (future) policies on recommender systems and offers a transdisciplinary approach to tackle important issues related to their development, use and integration into online eco-systems. This volume scrutinizes the values driving automated recommendations - what is important for an individual receiving the recommendation, the company on which that platform was received, and society at large might diverge. The volume addresses concerns about manipulation of individuals and risks for personal autonomy. From a legal perspective, the volume offers a much-needed evaluation of regulatory needs and lawmakers’ answers in...
The technology and application of artificial intelligence (AI) throughout society continues to grow at unprecedented rates, which raises numerous legal questions that to date have been largely unexamined. Although AI now plays a role in almost all areas of society, the need for a better understanding of its impact, from legal and ethical perspectives, is pressing, and regulatory proposals are urgently needed. This book responds to these needs, identifying the issues raised by AI and providing practical recommendations for regulatory, technical, and theoretical frameworks aimed at making AI compatible with existing legal rules, principles, and democratic values. An international roster of authors including professors of specialized areas of law, technologists, and practitioners bring their expertise to the interdisciplinary nature of AI.
This book explores the contributory liability of Internet intermediaries that arises from trademark infringements committed by third parties on the Internet, providing a comprehensive analysis of the law applicable to the matter in an EU context. It also considers the applicable laws of Germany and England to demonstrate how the rules are implemented in national laws, as the current state of the law is two-tiered. In providing a framework of the law applicable to online contributory trademark liability, the book also addresses ongoing and emerging issues that are specific to trademark law and proposes specific solutions to the issues arising in the context of online contributory trademark liability. The liability of Internet intermediaries has been a popular and lively subject from different substantive rights’ angles. However, trademark law has not received a great deal of attention from either scholars or legislators. As such, this book fills a gap in the literature by undertaking a trademark-specific examination, and will be of great interest to all those involved in the research and legal practice of trademark law.
English summary: Karina Grisse examines the legitimacy and possible implementation into national law of access blocking as a means to combat illegal content on the internet, especially intellectual property infringement. She drafts a statutory provision, which could serve as the legal basis for proportionate blocking injunctions by courts as an ultima ratio means against highly illegal online platforms and services. The English judicial practice regarding blocking injunctions serves as a model. German description: Das EU-Recht gibt vor, dass Vermittler, deren Dienste von Dritten zur Verletzung von geistigen Eigentumsrechten genutzt werden, zu Massnahmen verpflichtet werden mussen, um die Rec...
All forms of online communications and interactions between people and companies on the Internet are facilitated by intermediaries – service providers whose decisions and policies have a shaping effect on the Internet, its users and the information shared on it. Today, because such intermediaries employ technologies that go well beyond the mere transmission and storage of information into new realms potentially disrupting existing business models, a rethinking of existing relevant law is called for. The legal analysis and recommendations in this book put the topic of intermediary liability in the perspective of copyright law and offer a vision on how to regulate that liability. In the cont...
Renowned intellectual property law expert Bernt Hugenholtz once warned, chiding the voracity of copyright, that reducing the subject matter test to mere originality and personal stamp might lead to ‘infinite expansion of the concept of the work of authorship. Anything touched by human hand, including for instance sports performances, would be deemed a work’. Indeed, the applicability of copyright law on sports events and players’ moves is one of the many topics discussed in this volume, which spans issues from those related to players and their performances and achievements, via those relevant to sports event organisers and clubs, to questions concerning event reporting and data and th...

Rechtsprechung bedeutet nicht nur das Finden und Aussprechen des Rechts, sondern immer auch die Aufklarung dessen, woruber das Gericht im Einzelfall entscheiden soll. Traditionell beschaftigt sich die deutsche Rechtswissenschaft mit Rechtsprechung vor allem unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Rechtsinterpretation. Die nicht weniger wichtige Feststellung des relevanten Sachverhalts erfahrt hingegen nur selten Aufmerksamkeit. Dies gilt fur die Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit in noch starkerem Masse als fur die Zivil- und Strafgerichte. Maria Geismann untersucht das rechtliche Koordinatensystem, innerhalb dessen die Verwaltungsgerichte die Tatsachengrundlage fur ihre Entscheidungen festlegen. Sie betrachtet die verwaltungsgerichtlichen Funktionsbedingungen und -grenzen im Lichte ihrer legitimationstheoretischen Grundlagen und des gesetzlichen Auftrags zur Wahrheitssuche ebenso wie die spezifische Rolle der Verwaltung im Prozess.
