Manuale Di Informatica Giuridica E Diritto Delle Nuove Tecnologie

L’opera, che vede la collaborazione di diversi studiosi e professionisti specializzati nel settore, approfondisce la complessa tematica del rapporto fra diritto e nuove tecnologie, privilegiando un approccio di carattere operativo anche se non viene risparmiato spazio ad importanti riferimenti di carattere dottrinario. Grande rilevanza assume la giurisprudenza, spesso decisiva per risolvere le particolari questioni giuridiche sorte con l’avvento della tecnologia. Il libro si suddivide in 4 macroaree: civile, penale, amministrativa e tecnologie emergenti, proprio per evidenziare l’evoluzione che negli ultimi tempi ha contraddistinto la materia, da intendere ormai come comprensiva sia dell’informatica del diritto, che del diritto dell’informatica e dove ormai lo stesso riferimento alla sola informatica appare limitato. Proprio per questo motivo si è ritenuto di affrontare le principali ed emergenti tematiche dell’informatica giuridica: la contrattualistica, la protezione dei dati personali, i reati, la cybersecurity, la digitalizzazione della PA, l’IA, l’IoT, la blockchain, i big data.

Il libro nasce da una duplice presa d’atto: la prima riguarda la dipendenza delle odierne società umane dalle tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione (ICT), alla luce della progressiva convergenza tra big data, intelligenza artificiale e piattaforme digitali. La seconda concerne il progressivo riallineamento del diritto come questione di accesso, controllo e tutela su flussi di dati e informazioni nelle società ICT-dipendenti. L’intento è di chiarire l’odierno stato dell’arte su quanto spesso è riassunto come “rivoluzione digitale”, prestando attenzione ai problemi connessi al governo delle nuove tecnologie e la politica dei dati. Da un lato l’attenzione si dirige verso i rapporti del diritto con altri sistemi regolativi come l’etica, l’economia, la tecnologia o le norme sociali; dall’altro, occorre fare i conti con i problemi aperti in settori cruciali del diritto, quali le garanzie nel processo penale e la protezione dei dati personali, la proprietà intellettuale, i contratti o il diritto alla salute.

The European Conference on e-Government has been running now for 18 years. This event has been held in Italy, Ireland, Belgium, UK, Slovenia, to mention a few of the countries who have hosted it. This year we are refocusing the conference to look more broadly at the area of Digital Government. The conference is generally attended by participants from more than 40 countries and attracts an interesting combination of academic scholars, public sector workers and individuals who are engaged in various aspects of Digital Government research and application.

This book analyses the legal approach to personal data taken by different fields of law. An increasing number of business models in the digital economy rely on personal data as a key input. In exchange for sharing their data, online users benefit from personalized and innovative services. But companies’ collection and use of personal data raise questions about privacy and fundamental rights. Moreover, given the substantial commercial and strategic value of personal data, their accumulation, control and use may raise competition concerns and negatively affect consumers. To establish a legal framework that ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data while at the same time providing an open and level playing field for businesses to develop innovative data-based services is a challenging task.With this objective in mind and against the background of the uniform rules set by the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the contributions to this book examine the significance and legal treatment of personal data in competition law, consumer protection law, general civil law and intellectual property law. Instead of providing an isolated analysis of the different areas of law, the book focuses on both synergies and tensions between the different legal fields, exploring potential ways to develop an integrated legal approach to personal data.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical guide to cyber law – the law affecting information and communication technology (ICT) – in Italy covers every aspect of the subject, including intellectual property rights in the ICT sector, relevant competition rules, drafting and negotiating ICT-related contracts, electronic transactions, privacy issues, and computer crime. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the detailed explanation of specific characteristics of practice and procedure. Following a general introduction, the book assembles its information and guidance in seven main areas of practice: the regulatory framework of the electronic communications market; software protection, legal protection of databases or chips, and other intellectual property matters; contracts with regard to software licensing and network services, with special attention to case law in this area; rules with regard to electronic evidence, regulation of electronic signatures, electronic banking, and electronic commerce; specific laws and regulations with respect to the liability of network operators and service providers and related product liability; protection of individual persons in the context of the processing of personal data and confidentiality; and the application of substantive criminal law in the area of ICT. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Italy will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative law in this relatively new and challenging field.
