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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the context of in-depth and up-to-date analyses on EU, US, German and Dutch law, the author discusses such issues and topics as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe liability rules in the new Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eliability for the intermediary's own copyright infringements (primary liability);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe intermediary's responsibility to stop or prevent the infringements of others (secondary liability);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe role that fundamental rights play in copyright law and intermediary liability;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe rights and interests of copyright owners, intermediaries and users, and how they are protected;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003enotice-and-takedown by service providers;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ewebsite blocking by Internet access providers;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe publisher's rights and the use of online articles by platforms;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003elegal status of hyperlinks under copyright law; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esearch engine use of copyrighted materials.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA focus on the strengths and weaknesses of existing EU copyright law concerning Internet intermediaries in terms of how future-proof that law is, includes detailed attention to legislation, regulation and case law.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith its deeply informed guidance with respect to the methods of regulation in a domain that is heavily influenced by technological developments, this book will be welcomed by policymakers, legislators, academics, judges and practitioners working in the area of copyright law as applied to the Internet. The detailed attention to the extent to which an intermediary can be held liable for copyright infringements in both the EU and the US will prove highly beneficial for in-house counsellors and advisors working for rights holder organizations and intermediary service providers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Kulk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9403514809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789403514802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kluwer Law International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Stefan Kulk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46465558249727,"sku":"9789403514802","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90678542-6695-4dbc-9de2-03225321d18d.jpg?v=1736346602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/internet-intermediaries-and-copyright-law-stefan-kulk-9789403514802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
