IT-rätt och kommunikationsrätt

Europeiska unionens datarätt är ett rättsområde i rörelse. Vi kan numera tala om en andra generationens IT-rätt som karaktäriseras av en aktiv lagstiftare på unionsnivå; på förhållandevis kort tid har det tillkommit en stor mängd rättsakter som reglerar frågor om tillgång till och användning av data. Ambitionen med Europeiska kommissionens strategi för data från 2020 är att skapa en inre marknad för data, och det är dessa regler - den nya europeiska datarätten - som har gett namn åt den här boken. I del 1 tecknas en översiktlig bild av områdets rättsliga och institutionella ramar. I del 2 till 5 ges en mer detaljerad redogörelse för reglerna om artificiell intelligens, dataförvaltning, dataskydd och upphovsrätt. Varje kapitel avslutas med en matig sammanfattning och tips på vidare läsning.Boken kan användas på kurser i IT-rätt, antingen som huvudbok på kurser med fokus på den nya europeiska regleringen av AI och data eller som komplement till andra, bredare framställningar. Det är bra att ha en viss förtrogenhet med ämnet juridik, men boken vänder sig även till en vidare läsekrets. Kunskap om regleringen är viktig, inte bara för jurister.

I kölvattnet av samhällets digitalisering vinner lagar och regler som avser olika delar av det digitala samhället alltmer i betydelse. Den tekniska utvecklingen påverkar såväl människor, företag som myndigheter samt deras inbördes relation. Allt fler fenomen, digitala marknader och digitala tjänster regleras, såsom onlineplattformar, molntjänster, sakernas internet eller artificiell intelligens (AI).

Svensk och europeisk IT-rätt ger en akademisk samt pedagogisk beskrivning av IT-rätten som ett sammanhängande rättsområde och behandlar dess centrala delmängder dataskydd, upphovsrätt och marknadsrätt. Tyngdpunkten ligger på den kommersiella IT-rätten och i framställningen beaktas den senaste rättsutvecklingen på EU-nivån, bl.a. förordningen om digitala tjänster (Digital Services Act), förordningen om digitala marknader (Digital Markets Act), dataförvaltningsförordningen (Data Governance Act), dataförordningen (Data Act) och AI-förordningen (AI Act). Följande övergripande teman behandlas:

• Behandling av personuppgifter i en digital miljö

• Upphovsrätt i en digital miljö

• Yttrandefrihet och ansvar i en digital miljö

• Reglering av data och AI

• E-handelsrätt

Svensk och europeisk IT-rätt ger även en introduktion till juridiken samt till det internationella perspektivet och innehåller åtskilliga referenser, praktiska exempel, tillämpningstips och illustrationer. Boken riktar sig därmed till såväl jurister, ickejurister, studenter som praktiker.

Detta är en omfattande kommentar till EU:s dataskyddsförordning (2016/679) – GDPR. Förordningen kommenteras artikel för artikel på traditionellt sätt. Även den kompletterande svenska s.k. dataskyddslagen (2018:218) kommenteras paragraf för paragraf. I verket finns också en utförlig kommentar till bestämmelsen om s.k. dataskyddssekretess i 21 kap. 7 § offentlighets- och sekretesslagen (2009:400).

Första upplagan av kommentaren utsågs 2020 till årets verk av Norstedts Juridik. I denna tredje upplaga har bl.a. omfattande ny praxis från främst EU-domstolen och nya riktlinjer och rättsliga ställningstaganden beaktats. Strukturen på kommentarstexten har setts över och fler underrubriker införts.

GDPR syftar till att stärka de registrerades rättigheter. Genom dataskyddsförordningen garanteras människor både insyn och möjlighet att påverka användandet av deras personuppgifter. Detta ställer krav på organisationerna: de ska både kunna förstå komplexa regelverk och kunna hantera dem korrekt. Gör organisationer fel kan både dryga sanktionsavgifter och skadestånd aktualiseras. Dataskyddsförordningen GDPR: Hantera registrerades rättigheter beskriver alla rättigheterna på djupet. Svåra rättsregler benas ut både i ord och i pedagogiska illustrationer. Läsaren får ökad förståelse genom genomgång av relevanta domar. Till boken finns en arbetsbok med tydliga arbetsgångar och råd om hur man kan arbeta i praktiken. Den här boken kan också läsas fristående. Monika Wendleby är jurist med gedigen erfarenhet av komplex juridik (bland annat som kammarrättsråd/rådman i förvaltningsdomstolar) Monika är en uppskattad föreläsare och workshopsledare samt en välkänd skribent inom dataskyddsområdet. Hon har skrivit Dataskyddsförordningen GDPR: För dataskyddsombud och andra ansvariga, som blivit ett uppskattat verktyg för många som arbetar med dataskydd, och är medförfattare till Dataskyddsförordningen GDPR: Förstå och tillämpa i praktiken, som blivit en juridisk bästsäljare.

Målet för digitaliseringspolitiken är att Sverige ska vara bäst i världen på att använda digitaliseringens möjligheter. Samtidigt som digitaliseringen leder till ökad effektivitet innebär den nya tekniken ökade risker för den personliga integriteten. I syfte att stärka skyddet för fysiska personer vid behandling av personuppgifter samt för att underlätta flödet av personuppgifter inom Europeiska unionen trädde EU:s dataskyddsförordning (GDPR) i kraft den 25 maj 2018. Dataskyddsförordningen anses ofta vara ett komplext och svårtillämpat regelverk, inte minst inom offentlig sektor där myndigheter även har att förhålla sig till andra regelverk vid behandling av personuppgifter. Syftet med denna bok är att ge en introduktion till de grundläggande reglerna i EU:s dataskyddsförordning och annan närliggande lagstiftning.Boken riktar sig till studenter vid landets högskolor och universitet som vill få en introduktion till de regler som gäller vid behandling av personuppgifter samt till personer som arbetar med dataskyddsfrågor i offentlig sektor.

Inom cybersäkerhetsområdet har teknikexperterna länge haft tolkningsföreträde. Denna bok syftar till att vidga perspektivet och se till samspelet människa-teknik-organisation och processer. Målgruppen är alla som har intresse för säkerhet och säkerhetsledning oavsett roll och verksamhetsfält. Bokens ambition är att vara användbar och lättillgänglig. Den syftar till att inspirera och vidga perspektivet men också till att förmedla kunskap, erfarenheter och verktyg för att att minska de mänskliga misstagen och bygga en kultur för säkerhet.

Financial Times Best Books of 2023 in EconomicsThe global battle among the three dominant digital powers—the United States, China, and the European Union—is intensifying. All three regimes are racing to regulate tech companies, with each advancing a competing vision for the digital economy while attempting to expand its sphere of influence in the digital world. In Digital Empires, her provocative follow-up to The Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford explores a rivalry that will shape the world in the decades to come.Across the globe, people dependent on digital technologies have become increasingly alarmed that their rapid adoption and transformation have ushered in an exceedingly concentrated economy where a few powerful companies control vast economic wealth and political power, undermine data privacy, and widen the gap between economic winners and losers. In response, world leaders are variously embracing the idea of reining in the most dominant tech companies. Bradford examines three competing regulatory approaches—the American market-driven model, the Chinese state-driven model, and the European rights-driven regulatory model—and discusses how governments and tech companies navigate the inevitable conflicts that arise when these regulatory approaches collide in the international domain. Which digital empire will prevail in the contest for global influence remains an open question, yet their contrasting strategies are increasingly clear.Digital societies are at an inflection point. In the midst of these unfolding regulatory battles, governments, tech companies, and digital citizens are making important choices that will shape the future ethos of the digital society. Digital Empires lays bare the choices we face as societies and individuals, explains the forces that shape those choices, and illuminates the immense stakes involved for everyone who uses digital technologies.

Informationssamhället ger upphov till många nya rättsliga över­väganden och det behövs ett juridiskt förhållningssätt till digita­li­seringen av samhället. I boken ges ett rättsinformatiskt perspektiv på mötet mellan ny teknik och juridik. Ett centralt tema i hela boken är automatisering av rättsliga förfaranden och den centrala roll som algoritmer spelar.Efter många år av anpassning av allmänna regler om till exempel upphovsrätt och dataskydd till informationssamhället ser vi nu en tsunami av helt ny EU-lagstiftning. En mängd förordningar och direktiv syftar till att direkt reglera digitala företeelser såsom artificiell intelligens (AI), datahantering, grindvakter på den digitala marknaden och cybersäkerhet. I denna femte upplaga har viktiga uppdateringar gjorts för att beskriva dessa nya regler och ny rättspraxis inom området.

With rich psychological insights and vivid examples drawn from history and science, Superbloom provides both a panoramic view of how media shapes society and an intimate examination of the fate of the self in a time of radical dislocation. It may be too late to change the system, Nicholas Carr counsels, but it’s not too late to change ourselves.

Allmänhetens möjlighet till insyn i den offentliga förvaltningen är en viktig del av vårt rättssamhälle. Offentlighet, sekretess och dataskydd behandlar dels handlingsoffentligheten, det vill säga de regler som ger var och en av oss rätt att ta del av allmänna handlingar, dels de viktigaste reglerna för skydd av personuppgifter.

Boken är avsedd för juridiska introduktions- och översiktskurser samt för professionsutbildningar. Den är också lämplig för yrkesverksamma inom den offentliga förvaltningen och för alla som hanterar personuppgifter i privata företag.

Sagt om boken"Boken utgör en ytterst kunnig och välskriven introduktion till regelverket rörande offentliga handlingar." Helhetsbetyg: 5 av 5. Lennart Berntson, lektör, BTJ-häftet nr 10, 2021.

Om författarnaStefan Zetterström är universitetsadjunkt vid juridiska fakulteten, Uppsala universitet. Han har tidigare skrivit flera läroböcker. Anna-Sara Lind är professor i offentlig rätt vid juridiska institutionen, Uppsala universitet. Hon har medverkat i flera läroböcker inom området för offentlig rätt.

I Sverige finns ingen samlad lagstiftning till skydd för den personliga integriteten i arbetslivet. Den som söker svaret på om en integritetskänslig åtgärd är lagenlig måste ta hänsyn till flera olika internationella och nationella rättskällor. Anställdas integritetsskydd och dataskyddsförordningen vägleder läsaren i den snåriga juridiska materian. Boken behandlar grundligt arbetsgivarens allmänna rätt att vidta kontrollåtgärder samt reglerna i personuppgiftslagen och den nya dataskyddsförordningen (GDPR). I bokens praktiska avsnitt guidas läsaren på ett lättillgängligt vis genom gällande rätt vid vissa vanligt förekommande integritetskänsliga åtgärder i arbetslivet. Framställningen innehåller dessutom checklistor som kan användas när en integritetskänslig åtgärd ska vidtas eller införas, samt vid medbestämmandeförhandlingar om sådana åtgärder. Boken är användbar för alltifrån ombudsmän, förhandlare, personalansvariga och IT- och systemansvariga till jurister som hanterar frågor om drogtester, positioneringsteknik och registrering av arbetstid etc.

Alla företag som är verksamma inom EU måste följa GDPR och ta ansvar för hur de anställdas, kundernas och leverantörernas personuppgifter behandlas. I GDPR-guiden går författarna igenom grunderna i regelverket och belyser praktiska frågeställningar och problem med hjälp av rättsfall och vägledningar. Att arbeta med dataskyddsfrågor på HR-avdelningen respektive marknadsavdelningen innebär helt olika utmaningar. Olika avdelningar på ett företag behandlas därför i separata kapitel och i dessa ges konkreta exempel på reella utmaningar som varje företag möter ur ett dataskyddsperspektiv.

För att dataskyddet ska bli en naturlig del som genomsyrar hela verksamheten behöver det finnas ett dataskyddstänk på alla avdelningar. Boken har därför som mål att hjälpa den dataskyddsansvarige att bli en dataskyddsambassadör och att skapa en positiv dataskyddskultur inom företaget.

Dataskyddsförordningen är lag i Sverige. Förordningen, som antogs av lagstiftarna inom EU år 2016, handlar om skydd för personuppgifter och därmed de regler som styr hur och i vilka sammanhang som personuppgifter får hanteras (behandlas). I den här skriften försöker jag att så praktiskt som möjligt beskriva dataskyddsförordningens betydelse och tillämpning inom det arbetsrättsliga området.

Law and Technology: A Methodical Approach offers a defensible and consistent approach to the legal analysis of technology. It puts forward a step-by-step methodology for thinking about and ultimately challenging technology to meet society's demands.

What effect do robots, algorithms, and online platforms have on the world of work? Using case studies and examples from across the EU, the UK, and the US, this book provides a compass to navigate this technological transformation as well as the regulatory options available, and proposes a new map for the era of radical digital advancements.From platform work to the gig-economy and the impact of artificial intelligence, algorithmic management, and digital surveillance on workplaces, technology has overwhelming consequences for everyone’s lives, reshaping the labour market and straining social institutions. Contrary to preliminary analyses forecasting the threat of human work obsolescence, the book demonstrates that digital tools are more likely to replace managerial roles and intensify organisational processes in workplaces, rather than opening the way for mass job displacement.Can flexibility and protection be reconciled so that legal frameworks uphold innovation? How can we address the pervasive power of AI-enabled monitoring? How likely is it that the gig-economy model will emerge as a new organisational paradigm across sectors? And what can social partners and political players do to adopt effective regulation?Technology is never neutral. It can and must be governed, to ensure that progress favours the many. Digital transformation can be an essential ally, from the warehouse to the office, but it must be tested in terms of social and political sustainability, not only through the lenses of economic convenience. Your Boss Is an Algorithm offers a guide to explore these new scenarios, their promises, and perils.

The story of how the FBI secretly used an encrypted phone company to infiltrate one of the world's largest crime syndicates, revealing how the underworld has become a globalized economy in its own right--one that can't be policed without crossing complicated ethical boundaries.Written "in the manner of a good crime thriller" (The Wall Street Journal), the inside story of the largest law-enforcement sting operation ever, in which the FBI created its own tech start-up to wiretap the worldIn 2018, a powerful app for secure communications called Anom took root among organized criminals. They believed Anom allowed them to conduct business in the shadows. Except for one thing: It was secretly run by the FBI.  Backdoor access to Anom and a series of related investigations granted American, Australian, and European authorities a front-row seat to the underworld. Tens of thousands of criminals worldwide appeared in full view of the same agents they were trying to evade. International smugglers, money launderers, hitmen: a sprawling illicit global economy as efficient and interconnected as the legal one. Officers watched drug shipments and murder plots unfold, making arrests without blowing their cover. Featuring a new epilogue with crucial updates to the case, Dark Wire reveals the true scale and stakes of this unprecedented operation through the agents and criminals who were there. This is a fly-on-the-wall thriller for the modern world, where no one can be sure who is watching.

Over the past two decades, the insurance industry has begun offering cyber insurance to help organizations manage cybersecurity and privacy law compliance, while also offering risk management services as part of their insurance packages. These insurers have thus effectively evolved into de facto regulators—yet at the same time, they have failed to effectively curtail cybersecurity breaches. Drawing from interviews, observations, and extensive content analysis of the cyber insurance industry, this book reveals how cyber insurers' risk management services convey legitimacy to the public and to insureds but fall short of actually improving data security, rendering them largely symbolic. Speaking directly to broader debates on regulatory delegation to nonstate actors, Shauhin A. Talesh proposes a new institutional theory of insurance to explain how insurers shape the content and meaning of privacy law and cybersecurity compliance, offering policy recommendations for how insurers and governments can work together to improve cybersecurity and foster greater algorithmic justice.

Our court system is struggling. It is too costly to deliver justice for all but the few, too slow to satisfy those who can access it. Yet the values implicit in disputes being resolved in person, and in public, are fundamental to how we have imagined the fair resolution of disputes for centuries. Could justice be delivered online? The idea has excited and appalled in equal measure, promising to bring justice to all, threatening to strike at the heart of what we mean by justice. With online courts now moving from idea to reality, we are looking at the most fundamental change to our justice system for centuries, but the public understanding of and debate about the revolution is only just beginning.In Online Courts and the Future of Justice Richard Susskind, a pioneer of rethinking law for the digital age, confronts the challenges facing our legal system and the potential for technology to bring much needed change. Drawing on years of experience leading the discussion on conceiving and delivering online justice, Susskind here charts and develops the public debate.Against a background of austerity politics and cuts to legal aid, the public case for online courts has too often been framed as a business case by both sides of the debate. Are online courts preserving the public bottom line by finding efficiencies? Or sacrificing the interests of the many to deliver cut price justice? Susskind broadens the debate by making the moral case (whether online courts are required by principles of justice) and the jurisprudential case (whether online courts are compatible with our understanding of judicial process and constitutional rights) for delivering justice online.Includes a substantial new chapter updating the book with the developments in online courts since the onset of Covid-19.

Augmented Reality (AR) is the blending of digital information in a real-world environment. A common example can be seen during any televised football game, in which information about the game is digitally overlaid on the field as the players move and position themselves. Another application is Google Glass, which enables users to see AR graphics and information about their location and surroundings on the lenses of their "digital eyewear", changing in real-time as they move about.

Augmented Reality Law, Privacy, and Ethics is the first book to examine the social, legal, and ethical issues surrounding AR technology. Digital eyewear products have very recently thrust this rapidly-expanding field into the mainstream, but the technology is so much more than those devices. Industry analysts have dubbed AR the "eighth mass medium" of communications. Science fiction movies have shown us the promise of this technology for decades, and now our capabilities are finally catching up to that vision.

Augmented Reality will influence society as fundamentally as the Internet itself has done, and such a powerful medium cannot help but radically affect the laws and norms that govern society. No author is as uniquely qualified to provide a big-picture forecast and guidebook for these developments as Brian Wassom. A practicing attorney, he has been writing on AR law since 2007 and has established himself as the world's foremost thought leader on the intersection of law, ethics, privacy, and AR. Augmented Reality professionals around the world follow his Augmented Legality� blog. This book collects and expands upon the best ideas expressed in that blog, and sets them in the context of a big-picture forecast of how AR is shaping all aspects of society.

Augmented reality thought-leader Brian Wassom provides you with insight into how AR is changing our world socially, ethically, and legally. Includes current examples, case studies, and legal cases from the frontiers of AR technology. Learn how AR is changing our world in the areas of civil rights, privacy, litigation, courtroom procedure, addition, pornography, criminal activity, patent, copyright, and free speech. An invaluable reference guide to the impacts of this cutting-edge technology for anyone who is developing apps for it, using it, or affected by it in daily life.

For anyone who wants to access Law Internet resources quickly and efficiently without becoming an IT expert. The emphasis here is on the location of high quality law Internet resources for learning, teaching and research, from among the billions of publicly accessible Web pages.

This volume tackles a quickly-evolving field of inquiry, mapping the existing discourse as part of a general attempt to place current developments in historical context; at the same time, breaking new ground in taking on novel subjects and pursuing fresh approaches. The term "A.I." is used to refer to a broad range of phenomena, from machine learning and data mining to artificial general intelligence. The recent advent of more sophisticated AI systems, which function with partial or full autonomy and are capable of tasks which require learning and 'intelligence', presents difficult ethical questions, and has drawn concerns from many quarters about individual and societal welfare, democratic decision-making, moral agency, and the prevention of harm. This work ranges from explorations of normative constraints on specific applications of machine learning algorithms today-in everyday medical practice, for instance-to reflections on the (potential) status of AI as a form of consciousness with attendant rights and duties and, more generally still, on the conceptual terms and frameworks necessarily to understand tasks requiring intelligence, whether "human" or "A.I."

Blockbuster lawsuits, artificial intelligence, backroom deals, millions in lobbying dollars and grand Silicon Valley idealism - the story of Google and copyright law is action-packed. By tracing Google's legal, commercial and political negotiations over copyright, Google Rules explains how Google became one of the most influential actors in the history of digital copyright. Today, Google reigns over a technological and economic order that features empowered private companies and rapidly changing technological conditions, and how to protect the public interest in this environment is one of the most pressing policy questions of our time. In Google Rules, Joanne E. Gray provides pragmatic strategies for taking up this challenge. Google Rules is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in understanding Google's accumulation of power, the recent history of digital copyright, or the future of our digital lives under the influence of an extremely powerful and motivated technology company.

Privacy has become a pressing concern for many users of digital platforms who fear legal or social liability for sharing personal details online. Yet for queer women and others, an emphasis on privacy fails to reflect the creativity and struggles of everyday people seeking to represent themselves and form meaningful connections through social media.Personal but Not Private explores how queer women share and maintain their identities through digital technologies despite overlapping technological, social, economic, and political concerns. Focusing on representations of sexual identity through Tinder, Instagram, and Vine, this volume uncovers how queer women are continuously engaging in identity modulation, or the process through which people and platforms adjust or modify personal information, to form relationships, increase their social and economic participation, and counter intersecting forms of oppression. While queer women's representations of sexual identity give rise to publics and counterpublics through intimate and collective self-representation, platform-specific elements like design and governance place limitations on queer women's agency and often make them targets of censorship, harassment, and discrimination. This book also considers how identity modulation can be applied to a range of people negotiating digital contexts and promotes tangible changes to digital platforms and their broader social, economic, and political structures to empower individuals and their personal sharing on social media.Bringing together personal interviews and empirical research, Personal but Not Private offers a new lens for examining digitally mediated identities and highlights how platforms act as complicated sites of transformation.

Cryptoassets represent one of the most high profile financial products in the world, and fastest growing financial products in history. From Bitcoin, Etherium and Ripple's XRP-so called "utility tokens" used to access financial services-to initial coin offerings that in 2017 rivalled venture capital in money raised for startups, with an estimated $5.6 billion (USD) raised worldwide across 435 ICOs. All the while, technologists have hailed the underlying blockchain technology for these assets as potentially game changing applications for financial payments and record-keeping.At the same time, cryptoassets have produced considerable controversy. Many have turned out to be lacklustre investments for investors. Others, especially ICOs, have also attracted noticeable fraud, failing firms, and alarming lapses in information-sharing with investors. Consequently, many commentators around the world have pressed that ICO tokens be considered securities, and that concomitant registration and disclosure requirements attach to their sales to the public.This volume assembles an impressive group of scholars, businesspersons and regulators to collectively write on cryptoassets. This volume represents perspectives from across the regulatory ecosystem, and includes technologists, venture capitalists, scholars, and practitioners in securities law and central banking.
