On the Internet, everything is powered through services, most of which are provided by private entities. We know these Internet service providers (ISPs) as companies ranging from access providers (like AT&T and Spectrum) to hosting services (like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud) and search engines (like Google and Bing), among others. As society continues to advance technologically, the interpretation of their legal limits is being redefined every day. Therefore, ISP liability represents a major issue and presents an interesting set of questions in today’s ever-evolving cyberlaw. Join us as we explore:

• How regulations differ around the world and how to adapt your legal outlook to account for this.

• Copyright law and the pitfalls of hyperlinking and downloads.

• Personal image and content—who “owns” your personal information online and what can they do with it?

Global finance is being infiltrated by the tokenization of the economy. But do you even know what a token is? How does it relate to our financial industry and is it even regulated? The last two years have seen significant cases that have affected the scope of regulatory powers of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), such as SEC v. Telegram and SEC v. Kik Interactive. Other courts have also begun to weigh in on the legal nature of tokens in trespass cases. In this seminar, we will review these cases and recent legal developments to provide an overview of the legal challenges in the world of crypto assets today.

Online platforms are quickly becoming powerful economic agents in our technologically advanced society. We rely on giants like Airbnb and Uber daily to help us navigate our lives. These companies dominate the market and often play a major role in shaping tech-focused business standards in hospitality, transportation and C2C sales. Because of this, we must explore the legal responsibility for duty of care and whether they fall under ISP legislation. This webinar will tackle the following issues:

• Legal status of platforms

• Active obligations of platforms

• Specific obligations of platforms in existing legislation

• Drafted legislation for platforms.

Participants will be invited to engage in a debate about whether platforms should benefit from ISP status and subsequent liability limitations.
