It is hard to imagine a future where the value of the Web takes a downward spiral: where less content is created, online access is less useful, and fewer people log on. Currently, thousands of new websites and applications are constantly created. The content attracts millions of new users who email, tweet, blog, and discuss the information on the Web freely. Net neutrality supports this open and entrepreneurial dynamic which helps to create billions of dollars in free value for the American public. In Free to Invest, the Institute for Policy Integrity warns of negative economic consequences if net neutrality is weakened. The report arrived at five main findings that describe the trade-offs of revoking net neutrality.

The paper deals with an analysis of factors influencing the acceptance of the seven major payment methods (i.e. cash on delivery, bank transfer, online payment integrator, payment in person, pay-by-link, card payment and virtual payment provider) by the Polish online shops. Our research was based on empirical data obtained from survey interviews conducted with the managers of online shops. The univariate logit models describing the acceptance of seven payment methods were constructed. A total of 45 explanatory variables divided into five categories were taken into account. The results obtained in the study demonstrated that a shop’s strategy of using traditional and electronic distribution channels has a strong influence on its acceptance of particular payment methods. The preferences of online shop managers, the involvement in online auctions and cross-border sales also play a significant role. The study confirmed competition between banks and non-bank intermediaries on the payment market as well as the widespread popularity of outsourcing in the area of online payments.

This paper covers the causes and the consequences of the worldwide mortgage crisis of 2007 in the field of housing law. The identification of reckless mortgage lending and mortgage securitization as the main causes of the crisis and its spread throughout the rest of the world have reoriented housing law and jurisprudence towards the increase of consumer protection in the field of mortgage loans, both in Europe as well as in Spain. The efficacy of other reforms relating to housing, such as the regulation of rating agencies at EU level or the law of leases in Spain have, on the other hand, been more controversial.
