By providing an accessible and holistic approach to law and technology issues, this book will guide practitioners through the technological challenges facing them both in their working practices and in the matters they handle. Law and Technology will help on both a practical and theoretical level, and will give practitioners line of sight of the technology challenges ahead. Students, and those undertaking further professional training, will find all the major issues are examined.Law and Technology lays the groundwork for a discipline of Law and Technology and is an authoritative text for practitioners and a range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional courses in the discipline, as well as a reference on the impact of technology on other legal disciplines, for example company law, criminal law and the law of torts. Uniquely, the book is rooted in Irish law; appropriately so given Ireland's role in the EU with a major Big Tech presence, and the fact that an Irish university is the home to the first-ever Law and Technology modules at the LLB level as core and compulsory subjects. Legislation examined in this book includes:- The EU AI Act - Online Safety and Media Regulation Act 2022 - Communications (Retention of Data) (Amendment) Act 2022 - Consumer Rights Act 2022 - Data Protection Act 2018, and General Data Protection Regulation- e-Privacy Regulations - Security of Network and Information Systems Directive- Digital Markets Act- Cybercrime Treaty There has been huge growth in litigation in this area, much of it driven by the EU's digital strategy. The cases analysed cover such issues as data transfer from the EU to US for commercial purposes, ransomware attack, data retention, data protection, surveillance, right to privacy, data misuse, artificial intelligence, Internet jurisdiction, online hate and online harassment and stalking. This book is on the Intellectual Property and IT Law service on Bloomsbury Professional Online.
