It addresses such issues as the following: ISP liability; contributory and secondary liability for trade mark, copyright, and patent infringement; time- and geo-shifting devices and services; consumer identification through dynamic IP addresses; infringements committed on a “commercial scale”; liability of hosting providers; requirements for a breach of duty of care; notice to users to refrain from infringements; filters and other due diligence measures; “actual knowledge”; privacy and infringers’ personal data; file sharing services; online storage services; and liability of transporters and freighters.}, recid = {27043}, pages = {xxi, 286 pages :}, }
