  • States retain control over how their citizens behave in the online environment through a host of laws and regulatory initiatives. Cyber-paternalism has prevailed in this way. Moreover, the divide between countries on critical matters such as online freedom of expression is not a new issue. However, in recent years States have become more vocal in their ambitions for network and, more commonly, data sovereignty, with China and Russia being two good examples. However, other regional initiatives re...

  • The internet is the greatest tool and forum for human creativity ever developed. It allows us to be creative in a way unlike any other tool and it allows for the sharing of the fruits of our creativity and fore collaborative creativity in a way we never imagined possible.

However, every creative act may be seen by copyright holders to be a destructive act or an act of parasitical creation. How do...

  • Some of the fastest-growing companies are now so-called “gig economy” employers. The world’s largest holiday letting company owns no hotels or properties while the world’s largest taxi firm owns few vehicles. Some believe the massive success of these companies is achieved at the cost of lack of protection for "employees" (so-called) and for customers. The call for companies such as AirBnB and Uber to be more closely regulated is now being answered by governments and other regulators. Wh...
