Internet Intermediaries and Copyright Law' aims to analyse whether the European Union (EU) legal framework on copyright law and intermediaries is future-proof. All forms of online communications and interactions between people and companies on the Internet are facilitated by intermediaries ? service providers whose decisions and policies have a shaping effect on the Internet, its users and the information shared on it. Today, because such intermediaries employ technologies that go well beyond the mere transmission and storage of information into new realms, potentially disrupting existing business models, a rethinking of existing relevant law is called for. The legal analysis and recommendations in this book put the topic of intermediary liability in theperspective of copyright law and offer a vision on how to regulate that liability.
