The project is based at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) and committed to studying the intertwining relationship between freedom and regulation in copyright and privacy law in digital environment from both national and international perspectives.

| Abstract: | The tension between copyright/personality rights and freedom of expression/information epitomises information-regarding disputes that often derive from behaviour in the Internet and assumes international nature. But before a court decides on the merits, it may need to determine jurisdiction issues by different jurisdictional approaches that are an important step towards striking the balance between different information-regarding rights.The speaker will analyse how different jurisdictional approaches could ultimately contribute to such a balancing goal in the light of recent case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). |
