The advent of the Information Society has put the field of Information Law
squarely on the map. Information law is the law relating to the production,
marketing, distribution and use of information goods and services. The field
of Information Law therefore cuts across traditional legal boundaries, and
comprises a wide set of legal issues on the crossroads of intellectual
property, media law, telecommunications law, freedom of expression and right
to privacy.
Publications in the Information Law Series focus on current legal
issues of information law and are aimed at scholars, practitioners and policy
makers who are active in the rapidly expanding area of information law and
policy. Recent volumes in the Information Law Series deal with copyright
enforcement on the Internet, interoperability in computer programs, the
harmonization of copyright at the European level, intellectual property and
human rights, public broadcasting in Europe, the future of the public domain,
conditional access in digital broadcasting, the ‘three-step test’ in
copyright, et cetera.
