This course provides a comprehensive description of the legal framework, still under construction, designed to regulate digital technologies. It addresses the regulation of digital objects themselves (software and database law, software licenses), as well as rights meant to protect individuals and groups of people from the abuse of digital technologies (personal data law, reduction of information asymmetry).
This issues are discussed in the broader context of the on-going digital revolution and of the economy of immaterial goods.
