Secondary Liability of Internet Service Providers
by Graeme B. DinwoodieThis book analyses the doctrinal structure and content of secondary liability rules that hold internet service providers liable for the conduct of others, including the safe harbours (or immunities) of which they may take advantage, and the range of remedies that can be secured against such providers. Many such claims involve intellectual property infringement, but the treatment extends beyond that field of law. Because there are few formal international standards which govern the question of secondary liability, comprehension of the international landscape requires treatment of a broad range of national approaches. This book thus canvasses numerous jurisdictions across several continents, but presents these comparative studies thematically to highlight evolving commonalities and trans-border commercial practices that exist despite the lack of hard international law. The analysis presented in this book allows exploration not only of contemporary debates about the appropriate policy levers through which to regulate intermediaries, but also about the conceptual character of secondary liability rules.
Network, Smart and Open

Auf der Spur der Hacker
by Timo SteffensProfessionelle Hackerangriffe (sogenannte Advanced Persistent Threats) treffen heutzutage Regierungen, Unternehmen und sogar kritische Infrastrukturen wie Flughäfen oder Stromnetzbetreiber. Herauszufinden, welche Täter und Auftraggeber dahinter stecken, wird zunehmend wichtiger. Wenn man die Ursprünge eines Angriffs und seine Motive kennt, kann man sich besser schützen und die Konsequenzen eines Datendiebstahls effektiver begrenzen.Damit die Frage, ob ein Angriff aus Russland, China, einem anderen Land, oder von gewöhnlichen Kriminellen durchgeführt wurde, nicht eine Frage des Glaubens oder Bauchgefühls bleibt, soll dieses Buch einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Ermittler und Analysten werfen. Ausführlich erläutert der Autor die IT-technischen Methoden, mit denen man den Tätern auf die Spur kommt, aber auch, wo diese Methoden an Grenzen stoßen. Zahlreiche Beispiele von aufwändigen Angriffen der letzten Jahre zeigen, wie die Täter falsche Fährten legen, oft genug aber auch Fehler machen, die sie überführen.So bietet der Autor, der seit mehreren Jahren gezielte Hackerangriffe von Spionagegruppen auf Behörden und Unternehmen untersucht, einen spannenden Blick hinter die Kulissen der Ermittler und Analysten. Neben Sicherheitsexperten staatlicher Behörden, Unternehmen, Stiftungen und NGOs, die regelmäßig zum Ziel von Cyberkriminalität werden, finden auch technische Journalisten und interessierte Laien in diesem Buch eine Fülle an Hintergrundwissen zur IT-Forensik.

Euro) vor. Nicht nur in der Europäischen Union ansässige Unternehmen werden daher ihre Datenschutz-Compliance auf den Prüfstand stellen müssen; aufgrund des weiten, grenzüberschreitenden Anwendungsbereichs der Verordnung wird ihr Inkrafttreten Auswirkungen auf zahlreiche Unternehmen weltweit haben.
Social Media Marketing
by Githa Heggde G. ShaineshThis book focuses on the role of social media as the next major game-changer. Social media has emerged as the defining trend in the last decade and continues to restructure communication and interactions between individuals, communities, governments and businesses. Researchers and marketers are still struggling with the profound impact of rapidly evolving social media on viral user-generated content, its ability to shape consumer perceptions, and the constantly changing landscape for developing business cases to proactively engage with stakeholders. The growing opportunities to “hear” about customer priorities and concerns on company managed channels as well as third-party review sites, including social media pages, across the digital space are accompanied by the challenges of responding to these conversations in real-time, which calls for a massive shift in the way marketing functions engage in dialogue with customers. As leading users of social media in emerging markets, Indians are increasingly logging into their Facebook and Twitter accounts, with the country recording the highest growth in social networking. This book begins by discussing the impact of social media on marketing, from brand building, communications, and advertising to customization and customer engagement. The book approaches the subject matter systematically, identifying broad trends, concepts and frameworks in the first few chapters. It then goes on to address the varied application of social media in marketing for different sectors. Primarily focusing on understanding digital consumers, the book integrates social media with marketing and the outcome. It also presents new, selected cases of successful digital companies in emerging markets never before considered. Researchers and managers alike will find this book to be a handy reference guide to social media in emerging markets.
Emotion in Video Game Soundtracking
by Newton Lee Duncan WilliamsThis book presents an overview of the emerging field of emotion in videogame soundtracking. The emotional impact of music has been well-documented, particularly when used to enhance the impact of a multimodal experience, such as combining images with audio as found in the videogames industry. Soundtracking videogames presents a unique challenge compared to traditional composition (for example film music) in that the narrative of gameplay is non-linear – Player dependent actions can change the narrative and thus the emotional characteristics required in the soundtrack. Historical approaches to emotion measurement, and the musical feature mapping and music selection that might be used in video game soundtracking are outlined, before a series of cutting edge examples are given. These examples include algorithmic composition techniques, automated emotion matching from biosensors, motion capture techniques, emotionally-targeted speech synthesis and signal processing, and automated repurposing of existing music (for example from a players own library). The book concludes with some possibilities for the future.
