Beschreibung
Digital Revolution - New Challenges for Law addresses the impact of digital technology on European Laws, taking inspiration from the work of the European Law Institutes Digital Law Special Interest Group. Contributions address such diverse issues as the notion of data, data protection, supply of digital content, digital inheritance, online platforms, artificial intelligence, algorithmic regulation, Internet of Things, 3D-Printing, blockchain technology, smart contracts and virtual currencies. The analysis of these issues is not confined to one area such as contract law, but cuts across both legal subjects and other disciplines to highlight the breadth and depth of the challenges posed by digitalisation. In particular, this volume highlights the consequence of digitalisation by analysing new overlaps and relationships between different fields of law (e.g. the relationship between contract law and data protection, or private and criminal responsibility in the Internet of Things). Written by leading scholars, practitioners and policymakers, this volume provides answers to the challenges posed by the digital revolution and acts as a basis for further developments of EU law and beyond. Dr Alberto De Franceschi is associate professor of Private Law at the University of Ferrara (Italy). Dr Reiner Schulze is a professor and Director of the Centre of European Private Law at the Westfa?lische Wilhelms-Universita?t Mu?nster (Germany).
