The Law of Digital Content (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639056354)

The Law of Digital Content examines
the world of digital content and the legal framework surrounding its creation,
distribution, consumption, and regulation. Digital content can be understood
broadly to mean all data which are produced and supplied in digital form,
ranging from computer software and video games to databases, virtual worlds,
texts, film and videos, and music. This practical and analytical guide explores
the changes caused by new technologies in business, marketing, entertainment,
education, and other fields.

Written by industry leaders, the book provides an
overview, roadmap, and best practices on how new technologies impact regulatory
obligations, contractual duties, and industry practices. In each of the core
industries, the book identifies how law and practice are changed by the use of
these technologies and what practitioners and regulators must consider when
operating in this sphere. The book covers:

• The transformation of the internet from protocol
  to venue
• Copyright's power and limitation over digital
  assets
• Trademarks and digital assets
• Publicity rights in digital content
• The categorization of data; why is data not
  copyrightable in the U.S.; and how is data protected
• Digital money transfer, anti-money launderig, and
  related laws and regulations
• Securities and commodities regulation for crypto
  and other digital assets
• And much more!
