Preface
Get PDFThe European Union has a long history of investment in, encouragement for, and development of, electronic commerce and for more than 25 years has established a strong, and mostly coherent, regulatory framework for the e-commerce sector. In such a complex and fast moving arena asking any one lawyer to remain informed of the entire legal-regulatory framework seems unreasonable. Following on from this introductory chapter, the most important EU initiatives relevant to e-commerce are discussed. As with all Internet law related topics global regulations are ideal, but difficult to realize. This may change over time as more digital natives take positions in lawmaking and regulatory enforcement bodies. This though is still some way off and therefore for the moment we keep our focus on the European Union, but maybe one day the classic approach to state sovereignty and jurisdiction in relation to e-commerce will be replaced by a globally oriented approach
Explaining the Relevance of Court Decisions to Laymen
Get PDFIn the context of intelligent disclosure of case law, we report on our findings with respect to the presentation of relevant court decisions back to the laymen users. For this presentation we first localize the relevant legal concepts in the cases using shallow NLP techniques. Hereafter we investigated the use of techniques from the field of recommender systems, i.e. keyword style explanation and influence style explanation, to present the cases to the user in an understandable way. In order to find out if we succeeded in that respect, we conducted a small user satisfaction research. It shows promising results, and gives us some directions for future research
Fundamentals of Providing Negotiation Support Online: The Need for Developing BATNAs
No full textFisher & Ury claim that an important step in
resolving a dispute is to be aware of one’s BATNA
– what alternative parties have if negotiation
fails. Providing accurate information is important,
because disputing parties have a tendency
to develop an overoptimistic view on their position
in the dispute. The ‘reactive devaluation’
effect suggests that advice given by one’s opponent
is less likely to be taken into account than
the same information provided by a neutral. As
Information Technology can be perceived as a
neutral party, providing online BATNA calculation
may be a useful extension to the ADR/ODR
toolbox.
However, in order to determine BATNAs online,
we need a proper understanding of exactly what
is a BATNA. This paper argues that current understanding
of what comprises BATNAs is insufficient
for the intended purposes.

Directive 2019/790/EU (directive on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market)
No full textCopyright's place within European Union (EU) law and within the wider e-Commerce environment is undoubtedly significant. Nonetheless, copyright law is less well integrated into the EU legal order than some other key areas of commercial and e-Commerce law, such as competition law. It is noteworthy that copyright went unmentioned in the foundational Treaty of Rome, which was instead focused on eliminating barriers to competition. Even today EU intellectual property law is harmonized unevenly – for example, copyright law not as fully integrated into EU law than trade mark law is. Rather than full harmonization of EU copyright law there exists a scattered list of Directives and Regulations relevant to copyright. The most prominent include the Information Society (InfoSoc) Directive from 2001 (covered in Chapter 3) and the Copyright in the Digital Single Market (CDSM) Directive, brought into law in 2019, which forms the subject of this chapter
