      abstract = {Key questions addressed by this IRIS Special: 1. Does the  Internet search market show signs of a natural monopoly? 2.  What are the potential dangers of search engines? 3. What  is the function of metadata and how should they be  categorized from a legal point of view? 4. How can the free  flow of information be weighed against the protection of  privacy? 5. What does the exclusive position of search  engines mean for freedom of expression? 6. How is the EC  regulatory framework (Framework Directive for Electronic  Communications Networks and Services, Universal Service  Directive, E-Commerce Directive, Audiovisual Media Services  Directive) relevant to search engines? 7. What examples are  there of self- and co-regulation being used instead of  State regulation? 8. What kind of regulation is necessary?  In recent years, as users have become linked increasingly  closely via powerful Internet systems, the amount of  audiovisual content on the Internet has also grown at an  explosive rate. We can only assume that this trend will  continue. With such an enormous variety of information  being placed anarchically on the Internet, search engines  have a key role to play in facilitating access to this  information. They have a determining influence on what  information is found and what is not. The same applies to  electronic program guides in the television sector. In view  of the importance of search engines, this IRIS Special  considers how they are regulated and the extent to which  additional regulation is necessary against the background  of the increasing supply of audiovisual  content.--Publisher's description.},
