| Excerpt: | Abstract: The Internet raises several challenges for privacy law. In particular it often disrupts laws that regulate specific industries. As prior scholarship has shown, industry-specific laws are prone to circumvention and obsolescence whenever firms outside the covered industry begin collecting and using the same sorts of data. And the rapid birth (and death) of online business models makes these sorts of disruptions increasingly common. The resulting ... |

| Google Il Conquistatore (Google The Conqueror) |
Andrea Renda
|
| Antitrust
|
| Excerpt: | The paper illustrates the main allegations that have led the European Commission to start an investigation against Google for abuse of dominance. These are related to the manipulation of Google's algorithm; the imposition of exclusivity clauses in contracts with web- publishers and advertisers; behaviour aimed at preventing advertisers from investing in alternative platforms; and refusal to deal with rivals. The paper discusses the likely outcome of the case, as well as the impact that the Commission's decision might exert on the future of competition on the Internet. The paper casts rather dark shadows on the current application of antitrust in cyberspace, which seems even more problematic today than it was already in 2004, when the Commission adopted its controversial decision in the Microsoft case. At the same time, the author argues that the ongoing quest for neutrality and pluralism on the Internet should be neither subject to extremist pro-regulatory stances, nor left exclusively to the remit of antitrust law. |

| Excerpt: | Abstract We test the hypothesis that increasing individuals' perceived control over the release and access of private informationÛÓeven information that allows them to be personally identifiedÛÒÛÒwill increase their willingness to disclose sensitive information. If their willingness to divulge increases sufficiently, such an increase in control can, paradoxically, end up leaving them more vulnerable. Our findings highlight how, if people respond in a ... |

| Excerpt: | Network neutrality and alleged discriminatory practices on the part of ISPs regarding the transmission of Internet data packets has been the subject of notable scholarly discussion and appears to be a widespread phenomenon. However, it is noteworthy that actual consumer discrimination has only been proven in a small number of individual case studies. Hence, we aim to provide solid evidence for discriminatory behaviour of ISPS in our in- ... |

| Excerpt: | Abstract In today's data-driven world, programmers routinely incorporate user data into complex algorithms, heuristics, and application pipelines. While often beneficial, this practice can have unintended and detrimental consequences, such as the discriminatory effects identified in Staples' online pricing algorithm and the racially offensive labels recently found in Google's image tagger. We argue that such effects are bugs that should be tested ... |

Expanding the boundaries of the fixed broadband market towards these households represents one of the main challenges for telecommunications policy in the region over ... |

An injunction is not ruled out, yet that threat does not lead to holdup. A key element is that the implementer always has a last-resort ability to accept license terms that are either certified by a court as RAND or mutually agreed upon by the patentee and ... |

| The Oracle-Google Litigation: Interoperablity Prevails Again |
Peter S. Menell

| Copyright
|
| Excerpt: | Abstract: The litigation between Oracle and Google concerning Google’s use of Java Application Program Interface (API) packages in its Android mobile phone was a reprise of what many had assumed was a long-settled dispute over the scope of copyright protection for computer software. Unlike most of the companies that had engaged in these legal battles, Google and Oracle are not direct competitors, and Oracle’s business motivations for pursuing the litigation were complex. Nonetheless, the arguments Oracle made concerning the protectability of the APIs under copyright, had they been adopted by the court, would have had a profound impact on the ability of software companies to introduce products that could attach to or compete with existing computer programs. |
