Cloud computing brings important benefits and it is expected to play a key role in facilitating the uptake of emerging technologies and applications, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and high-performance computing. Despite its potential to deliver cost and time-efficient services, the majority of businesses in the EU have still not implemented cloud computing. This illustrates the need for a more widespread adoption of the technology. Yet, recent regulatory initiatives may obstruct the uptake of cloud services. This is arguably because such initiatives do not reflect a proper understanding of the market, which our paper intends to provide. To that end, the paper examines what cloud computing is and how it works. It subsequently discusses the EU’s attempts to regulate cloud computing, including the Digital Markets Act, the Digital Services Act, and the Data Act proposal. Our analysis demonstrates that the logic of these instruments and the obligations they establish do not fit the characteristics and workings of cloud computing. The paper concludes by noting that future regulation must mirror the specificities of the cloud, which has a value chain and traits that differ significantly from other digital services, most notably online platforms.

ABSTRACTNew tools are being explored to provide collective and participatory means of governing data to promote the management of data in ways that benefit those from whom data is collected. This paper discusses whether data trusts are feasible structures in an African context by outlining specific considerations that should be prioritised in the development of bottom-up and collective models of data governance on the continent. Making use of international instruments, principles and established values like Ubuntu, the paper analyses the importance of collective decision-making through collective and participatory governance, women’s empowerment, and capacity-building, and how the alignment of data trusts to African contexts could help balance historical power differentials, and emphasise heterogeneity as the starting point of all discussions in the digital age.KEYWORDS: Datadata trustsdata governanceAfricadata justicecollective decision-makingfundamental rights Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), ‘Guided by Privacy Laws, Data Trusts can Regulate Access to Data Subject to Consent Permissions (e.g., Purpose and Sharing Limitations) Attached to the Data.’ (2022) <https://gpai.ai/projects/data-governance/data-trusts/> accessed 23 July 2022.2 J Hardinges, ‘What is a data trust?’ (2018) <https://theodi.org/article/what-is-a-data-trust/> accessed 17 June 2022.3 A Ruhaak, ‘Data Trusts: Why, What and How?’ (2019) <https://medium.com/@anoukruhaak/data-trusts-why-what-and-how-a8b53b53d34> accessed 17 June 2022.4 Research ICT Africa (RIA), ‘From Data Protection to Data Justice’ (2022) <https://researchictafrica.net/publication/from-data-protection-to-data-justice-redressing-the-uneven-distribution-of-opportunities-and-harms-in-ai/> accessed 20 June 2022.5 Organisation for African Unity (OAU), ‘African Charter on Human and People’s Rights’, (OAU Addis Ababa 1982) CAB/LEG/67/3 rev. 5, 21 I.L.M. 58 <https://www.achpr.org/legalinstruments/detail?id=49> accessed 10 July 2022.6 Global Indigenous Data Alliance, ‘CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance’ (2018) <https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d3799de845604000199cd24/t/5da9f4479ecab221ce848fb2/1571419335217/CARE±Principles_One±Pagers±FINAL_Oct_17_2019.pdf> accessed 20 June 2022.7 SM Macdonald, ‘Reclaiming Data Trusts’ (2019) <https://www.cigionline.org/articles/reclaiming-data-trusts/> accessed 10 July 2022.8 Ibid.9 A Artyushina, ‘The Future of Data Trusts and the Global Race to Dominate AI’ (2021) <https://www.bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/blog/data-trusts1/#:~:text=What%20is%20a%20data%20trust,of%20access%20to%20the%20data.> accessed 20 June 2022.10 J Keller, ‘What are ‘Bottom-up’ Data Institutions and How Do They Empower People?’ (2021) <https://theodi.org/article/what-are-bottom-up-data-institutions-and-how-do-they-empower-people#collective-decision-making> accessed 20 June 2022; S Delacroix a

ABSTRACTThis article identifies efficiency, certainty, and agility as essential facilitators of a copyright system’s ability to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) to the cultural and creative industries in today’s knowledge economy. The article further provides a set of principles and rules that enable these characteristics in copyright law. Whereas some of these copyright principles and rules are inherently compatible and, hence, can concurrently serve the efficiency, certainty, and agility of copyright law, the co-existence of some of them requires legislative and judicial balancing, as neither of them should defeat the purpose of the other.Furthermore, given the role that legal efficiency, certainty, and agility play in the sustainability of copyright law, legislatures should weigh these characteristics in the copyright law balance when enacting or amending copyright statutes. Courts also should consider these qualities when reconciling competing copyright law interests via statutory interpretation. Both types of balancing are necessary to ensure that the economic competitive advantage of copyright law does not prejudice its fairness foundations.From a business strategy perspective, firms in the cultural and creative industry may want to consider the efficiency, certainty, and agility of a copyright system when choosing their investment destinations.KEYWORDS: Intellectual propertycopyrightinvestmentregulatory competitionmarket of lawsknowledge economy AcknowledgmentAn earlier version of this article was presented at the IP Researchers Europe Conference 2023 (IPRE 2023), Geneva, 29–30 June 2023.

摘要本文认为,在当今知识经济时代,效率、确定性和敏捷性是版权制度吸引外国直接投资到文化和创意产业的重要促进因素。本文进一步提供了一套在版权法中实现这些特征的原则和规则。虽然这些版权原则和规则中的一些本质上是相容的,因此可以同时服务于版权法的效率,确定性和灵活性,但其中一些的共存需要立法和司法平衡,因为它们都不应该破坏另一个的目的。此外,鉴于法律效率、确定性和灵活性在版权法的可持续性中所起的作用,立法机构在制定或修改版权法时应在版权法的平衡中权衡这些特征。法院在通过成文法解释协调相互竞争的版权法利益时也应考虑到这些品质。这两种平衡都是必要的,以确保版权法的经济竞争优势不损害其公平基础。从商业战略的角度来看,文化和创意产业的公司在选择投资目的地时可能需要考虑版权制度的效率、确定性和灵活性。关键词:知识产权、版权、投资、监管、竞争、法律市场、知识经济致谢本文的早期版本发表于2023年欧洲知识产权研究人员会议(IPRE 2023),日内瓦,2023年6月29-30日。作者感谢IPRE 2023的参与者和《信息与通信技术法》的匿名审稿人提供的宝贵意见。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1 Yochai Benkler,社会生产如何改变市场和自由的网络财富(耶鲁大学出版社,2006)33.2经济合作与发展组织(OECD),“知识经济”(1996)OECD总分布OCDE/GD(96)102, 9 < https://one.oecd.org/document/OCDE/GD%2896%29102/En/pdf>访问2023年8月13日;亚太经济合作组织(APEC)经济委员会,《APEC迈向知识经济》(2000)vii, 2022.3年8月13日查阅。Rafael gey和Leonard Bierman,《知识经济中员工信息交换的法律和经济学》(2004)。12 Geo Mason L Rev 651, 660.4同上。5 OECD,《知识经济》(第2期),7.6世界银行,《知识经济的四大支柱》,2023.7月5日查阅。《法律为何重要》(2007)11 Marq Intell Prop L Rev 337,340.8 Michael Schwager,澳大利亚知识产权局局长。前言。见:澳大利亚知识产权局,《2021年澳大利亚知识产权报告》(2021),于2023年8月13日获取;Keith E .

The article further provides a set of principles and rules that enable these characteristics in copyright law. Whereas some of these copyright principles and rules are inherently compatible and, hence, can concurrently serve the efficiency, certainty, and agility of copyright law, the co-existence of some of them requires legislative and judicial balancing, as neither of them should defeat the purpose of the other.Furthermore, given the role that legal efficiency, certainty, and agility play in the sustainability of copyright law, legislatures should weigh these characteristics in the copyright law balance when enacting or amending copyright statutes. Courts also should consider these qualities when reconciling competing copyright law interests via statutory interpretation. Both types of balancing are necessary to ensure that the economic competitive advantage of copyright law does not prejudice its fairness foundations.From a business strategy perspective, firms in the cultural and creative industry may want to consider the efficiency, certainty, and agility of a copyright system when choosing their investment destinations.KEYWORDS: Intellectual propertycopyrightinvestmentregulatory competitionmarket of lawsknowledge economy AcknowledgmentAn earlier version of this article was presented at the IP Researchers Europe Conference 2023 (IPRE 2023), Geneva, 29–30 June 2023.

Law enforcement authorities around the world are increasingly trialing or using facial recognition technologies (FRT). Their use has raised many legal and ethical challenges, one of which is a lack of transparency: Community members do not have sufficient information about what government organizations use FRT, for what purposes, and what safeguards are in place to manage the risks that they pose to human rights. While increased transparency around FRT use has been demanded by policy makers and academics, there are no established guidelines on how much transparency is needed around different FRT (authentication, identification, categorization) and what the barriers are in achieving the expected levels of transparency. This article fills this gap by proposing criteria which would help determine the required levels of transparency for different FRT applications (both low-risk and high-risk ones) and examines organizational, technical, legal and operational barriers in achieving adequate transparency and how they could be addressed.

ABSTRACT This article introduces information gathered through 21 semi-structured interviews conducted with UK, EU and international professionals in the field of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance and technology design, with a focus on the smart home context and vulnerable people using smart products. Those discussions gave various insights and perspectives into how the two communities (lawyers and technologists) view intricate practical data protection challenges in this specific setting. The variety of interviewees allowed to compare different approaches to data protection compliance topics. Answers to the following questions were provided: when organisations develop and/or deploy smart devices that use personal data, do they take into consideration the needs of vulnerable groups of people to comply with the GDPR? What are the underlying issues linked to the practical data protection law challenges faced by organisations working on smart devices used by vulnerable persons? How do experts perceive data protection law-related problems in this context?
