Digital Revolution - New Challenges for Law, a volume consisting of carefully selected contributions by leading scholars, practitioners and policy-makers, addresses the impact of digital technology on European Laws, taking inspiration from the work of the European Law Institute's Digital Law SIG. 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). Furthermore, it considers which new aspects and structures may arise for the main areas of law as a result of the digital revolution, and how to determine their interrelationship.
Written for scholars, practitioners and policy-makers, 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.
