Written by an expert author from the intellectual property chambers at 8 New Square, Lincoln's Inn, this is an essential guide for lawyers advising on liability, privacy, and online regulation.
Internet intermediaries play a central role in modern commerce and society. Although their economic and social importance is well-recognised, their legal liability remains poorly understood, and, until now, no work has specifically addressed their legal responsibility for wrongdoing carried out by third parties using their facilities or platforms. This work fills that gap by providing comprehensive coverage of the legal duties owed by intermediaries and the increasingly complex schemes that regulate their activities.
The first part of the work introduces the concept of an internet intermediary, general doctrines of primary and secondary liability, and the European enforcement regime. The second part examines the liability of intermediaries in specific areas of law, with a detailed analysis of the applicable liability rules, and the major English case law, and decisions of the Court of Justice that interpret and apply them. The final part of the work provides guidance on rem edies and limitations.

Rezension:
In light of the growing importance of Internet intermediaries, the treatment of their activities and the well-thought out and comprehensive analysis of their actual and potential liabilities make Mr. Riordans work a very welcome and valuable addition to the legal literature and a must-have for the library of any lawyer whose practice involves e-commerce issues. Sheldon Burshtein (The Trademark Reporter, Vol.106).
