Author Description

"The fifth edition of [this title is an...] analysis of and commentary on the latest developments within this burgeoning field of law...The contents have been restructured and the reordering of the chapters provides a coherent flow to the subject matter. Criminal law issues are now dealt with in two separate chapters to enable a more focused approach to content crime. The new edition contains both a significant amount of incremental change as well as substantial new material and, where possible, case studies have been used to illustrate significant issues. In particular, new additions include: social media and the criminal law; the impact of the decision in Google Spain and the ‘right to be forgotten’; the Schrems case and the demise of the Safe Harbour agreement; the judicial reassessment of the proportionality of ICT surveillance powers within the UK and EU post the Madrid bombings; and the expansion of the ICANN gTLDs and the redesigned domain name registration and dispute resolution processes."--
