The advent of the Information Society has put the field of Information Law squarely on the map. Information law is the law relating to the production, marketing, distribution and use of information goods and services. The field of Information Law therefore cuts across traditional legal boundaries, and comprises a wide set of legal issues on the crossroads of intellectual property, media law, telecommunications law, freedom of expression and right to privacy.

Publications in the Information Law Series focus on current legal issues of information law and are aimed at scholars, practitioners and policy makers who are active in the rapidly expanding area of information law and policy. Recent volumes in the Information Law Series deal with copyright enforcement on the Internet, interoperability in computer programs, the harmonization of copyright at the European level, intellectual property and human rights, public broadcasting in Europe, the future of the public domain, conditional access in digital broadcasting, the ‘three-step test’ in copyright, et cetera.
