Law, Technology and Cognition: The Human Element in Online Copyright Infringement (Routledge Research in Intellectual Property)
by Hayleigh BosherThis book considers a new approach to online copyright infringement. Rather than looking at the subject within a purely technological context, it provides legal analysis from a human perspective. This book highlights that there are three key instances in which the capacity of a human mind intersects with the development of copyright regulation: (1) the development of copyright statutory law; (2) the interpretation of the copyright statutory law the judiciary; and (3) human interaction with new technology. Using a novel framework for constructing digital perspectives, the author, Dr Hayleigh Bosher, analyses the laws relating to online copyright infringement. She provides insights into why the law appears as it does, shedding light on the circumstances of how it came to pass and demonstrates a clear malfunction in the interpretation and application of copyright law to online activities that derives from the disconnect between the technological and the human perspectives. The book proposes putting the human element back into copyright analysis to enable the return of reason where it has been lost, and provide a clearer, more consistent and fair legal regulation of online copyright infringement. Law, Technology and Cognition: The Human Element in Online Copyright Infringement will be of interest to students, academics, researchers, as well as practitioners.
Law, Technology and Dispute Resolution: The Privatisation of Coercion (Law, Science and Society)
by Riikka KouluThe use of new information and communication technologies both inside the courts and in private online dispute resolution services is quickly changing everyday conflict management. However, the implications of the increasingly disruptive role of technology in dispute resolution remain largely undiscussed. In this book, assistant professor of law and digitalisation Riikka Koulu examines the multifaceted phenomenon of dispute resolution technology, focusing specifically on private enforcement, which modern technology enables on an unforeseen scale. The increase in private enforcement confounds legal structures and challenges the nation-state’s monopoly on violence. And, in this respect, the author argues that the technology-driven privatisation of enforcement – from direct enforcement of e-commerce platforms to self-executing smart contracts in the blockchain – brings the ethics of law’s coercive nature out into the open. This development constitutes a new, and dangerous, grey area of conflict management, which calls for transparency and public debate on the ethical implications of dispute resolution technology.
Law, Video Games, Virtual Realities: Playing Law (TechNomos)
by Ashley Pearson Dale Mitchell Timothy D. PetersThis edited volume explores the intersection between the coded realm of the video game and the equally codified space of law through an insightful collection of critical readings. Law is the ultimate multiplayer role-playing game. Involving a process of world-creation, law presents and codifies the parameters of licit and permitted behaviour, requiring individuals to engage their roles as a legal subject – the player-avatar of law – in order to be recognised, perform legal actions, activate rights or fulfil legal duties. Although traditional forms of law (copyright, property, privacy, freedom of expression) externally regulate the permissible content, form, dissemination, rights and behaviours of game designers, publishers, and players, this collection examines how players simulate, relate, and engage with environments and experiences shaped by legality in the realm of video game space. Featuring critical readings of video games as a means of understanding law and justice, this book contributes to the developing field of cultural legal studies, but will also be of interest to other legal theorists, socio-legal scholars, and games theorists.
Lawfully Using Autonomous Weapon Technologies
by Jonathan KwikThis monograph provides a practical and operational perspective to the question of how to lawfully employ autonomous weapon systems (AWS) from the point-of-view of the technology's end-users: field commanders. While there is international consensus that targeting rules such as proportionality and precautions must be respected when using AWS, there is legal and practical ambiguity as to how to translate this normative commitment into practice. How are commanders in the field, when guns are already blazing, expected to exercise command-and-control when ordering AWS-attacks, and ensure that their targeting obligations remain fulfilled? The book discusses how commanders can use existing targeting frameworks to ensure that their use of AWS remains in compliance with the rules governing the conduct of hostilities. It invites the reader to step into the shoes of the military commander with all the operational pressure and uncertainty inherent to this position, and explores amongst others: - How to maintain control of AWS throughout a targeting cycle; - How to make informed and reasoned deployment decisions by analysing information related to the technical parameters of the AWS, the characteristics of the operational environment, and enemy countermeasures; - Under which circumstances AWS may not be used under targeting rules, such as indiscriminate attack, proportionality and the duty to cancel/suspend; - What extra precautionary measures unique to AWS technology can and should be employed; - When it is militarily desirable to employ AWS over other alternatives; and - Under what circumstances criminal liability may be attributed for AWS-related harm. It offers both academic and practical outputs: new legal and doctrinal insights on the technology that is useful for future legal developments, and workable recommendations and efficient flowcharts that can be adopted by commanders, military organisations or policymakers to ensure IHL-compliant deployment of AWS. Dr. Jonathan Kwik is a researcher at the T.M.C. Asser Institute in The Hague specialised in artificial intelligence and targeting law, and is a member of the Board of Experts of the Asia-Pacific Journal of International Humanitarian Law.
Laws of UX: Using Psychology to Design Better Products & Services
by Jon YablonskiAn understanding of psychology—specifically the psychology behind how users behave and interact with digital interfaces—is perhaps the single most valuable nondesign skill a designer can have.

Le basi di Linux: Una guida per principianti al sistema operativo di Linux
by Adidas WilsonLinux è l'unico sistema operativo per endpoint che sta crescendo a livello globale. Come ha detto una persona, "Linux è il Nikola Tesla dell'informatica". Questo sistema operativo è utilizzato in una miriade di dispositivi, tra cui smartphone, videoregistratori digitali, televisori, sistemi di intrattenimento delle compagnie aeree, segnaletica digitale, sistemi di controllo delle automobili, switch, router, desktop e molti altri. Il dibattito sui sistemi operativi Microsoft Windows e Linux non finirà presto. Tuttavia, è evidente che Linux sta vincendo. Se avete difficoltà a crederlo, considerate l'influenza di Linux sui dispositivi Android e Apple basati su UNIX. L'unico motivo per cui Windows è ancora diffuso è la sua influenza su molte applicazioni principali. Questa situazione sta per cambiare e Linux è, senza dubbio, il futuro. Microsoft è stato il re dell'End User Computing (EUC) per circa 30 anni. Tuttavia, alcuni fattori, come i problemi di sicurezza, stanno spingendo l'EUC verso il data center. Per questo motivo, c'è il desiderio di ridurre i costi e i rischi legati al mantenimento di Windows sul bordo. Il sistema operativo Linux offre la soluzione perfetta. Linux è stratificato e leggero, il che gli consente di funzionare molto bene su molti tipi di dispositivi. Inoltre, offre velocità e reattività elevate. Poiché Linux presenta numerosi vantaggi intrinseci, è preferito per le applicazioni endpoint.
Le basi di Scrum
by Troy Dimes Stefano SpeltaCreare software che offre più valore Di idee se ne trovano a iosa. Un sacco di gente sembra pensare che la maggior parte del processo di sviluppo del software consista nella semplice creazione di un'applicazione, vagamente legata ad un concetto, che la gente potrebbe desiderare. Probabilmente avrete sentito moltissima gente dire cose come: "Ho questa idea per un'app che raggiungerà sicuramente un milione di download!" solo per trovare poi la loro applicazione dispersa in un oceano di applicazioni simili. La creazione di software eccellente ed il suo rilascio nei tempi corretti richiedono uno schema di implementazione abbastanza sistematico ma non eccessivamente rigido. Qualità e tempi devono convivere. Se si rilascia un software che è pieno di bachi o che ha una user experience mediocre non ci si potrà di certo attendere un'altra commessa da parte del cliente. Molti programmatori temono questo esito e, di conseguenza, impiegano troppo tempo per sviluppare i programmi. Voi avete una quantità limitata di tempo per sviluppare un software, soprattutto quando dovete rispettare una data di scadenza, autoimposta o meno. Dovrete fare in modo che il software creato sia almeno decente ma, ancora più importante, rilasciato in modo tempestivo. Come si fa a bilanciare la qualità con il tempo? Questo libro spazia tra questi importantissimi argomenti. Dopo aver letto Le basi di Scrum conoscerete i significati dei ruoli di Scrum, degli Sprint, degli artefatti di Scrum e di molto altro. Ecco cosa imparerete leggendo Le basi di Scrum: *Cos'è il metodo Waterfall e perché non dovreste usarlo per i vostri progetti software *Che cosa è Scrum, da dove viene, perché dovreste usarlo e come potete metterlo in pratica nella vostra organizzazione oggi *Quale è la differenza tra Scrum e Agile Software Development? *I vari ruoli di Scrum, tra cui il Product Owner, lo Scrum Master ed i memb
Le dropshipping en toute simplicité: Le guide ultime pour gagner de l'argent avec Shopify et le e-commerce
by Adidas WilsonLe Dropshipping est une méthode de vente au détail où les boutiques ne stockent pas réellement leurs produits. Lorsqu’un client achète un produit, le vendeur l'achète à une autre partie et l'expédie directement au client. Le commerçant ne manipule ni ne voit le produit. Le dropshipping diffère du modèle de vente au détail conventionnel en ce sens que, dans ce cas, le vendeur ne possède pas de stock. Il ou elle achète une commande à un tiers. Comme tout le reste, le modèle du dropshipping présente des inconvénients et des avantages. Vous avez besoin de moins de capital : c'est sans doute le plus grand avantage. Vous n'avez pas besoin de milliers de dollars pour lancer une boutique de e-commerce. Les détaillants conventionnels doivent disposer d'un capital énorme pour constituer leur stock. Dans le cas du dropshipping, vous n'achetez un produit que lorsqu'un client a passé une commande et effectué le paiement. Un investissement initial dans le stock n'est pas nécessaire. Facile à démarrer : une entreprise de e-commerce est beaucoup plus facile à gérer lorsque vous ne manipulez pas de produits physiques. Vous n'aurez pas à vous soucier d'un entrepôt, de l'emballage et de l'expédition, du suivi des stocks, de la gestion des retours, etc. Faibles frais généraux : puisque vous n'aurez pas à vous occuper d'un entrepôt ou à acheter des stocks, attendez-vous à de faibles frais généraux. Beaucoup de personnes gèrent une entreprise de dropshipping depuis leur bureau à domicile avec leur ordinateur portable et ne dépensent qu'environ 100 $ par mois. Les dépenses peuvent augmenter au fur et à mesure que votre entreprise se développe, mais elles resteront faibles. Emplacement flexible : si vous avez une connexion Internet, vous pouvez gérer votre entreprise de dropshipping de n'importe où.

Leadership OS: The Operating System You Need to Succeed
by Shlomo Ben-Hur Nik KinleyBased on years of original research, this book controversially counters almost every existing leadership model and approach.It shows how as leaders rise to senior levels, their roles become less about doing things that directly drive results and more about directing and supporting others to achieve objectives. Using case studies and research insights the authors reveal how leadership success is thus not so much about having the right core capabilities, but about creating the right environment.Using the analogy of a smartphone operating system (OS), the book presents a new way of thinking about leadership. The authors provide a clear and practical framework to follow and show how your leadership OS becomes the impact you have, the imprint you make and the foundation of your legacy as a leader.After reading it, you will learn:· How to diagnose the impact you have as a leader and understand the OS you create· How famous business and societal leaders have created effective – and sometimes ineffective – OSs· How to optimise your OS to produce the best results· How to get people working together effectively, and be a high-performing leaderProviding you with practical and easy to follow advice, this book will show you how leadership success is not about having the core capabilities, but about creating the right operating systems for your organisation.
