Secondary Liability of Internet Service Providers

Description

Any relative examination of the “auxiliary obligation” of online specialist co-ops

(OSPs) defies a lot of edge definitional questions: above all, who is

an “online specialist co-op” and what is implied by “optional risk”? Deciding

who is an online “specialist co-op” principally includes understanding of definitions

contained in different bits of generally late enactment. The last inquiry—

what is “optional risk”— presents unquestionably more principal challenges, however

This Chapter draws vigorously on public reports arranged by public columnists ahead of time of the

Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law in Vienna in July 2014, some of

which have thus been overhauled for distribution as sections in Secondary Liability of Internet

Specialist co-ops (Graeme B. Dinwoodie ed., Springer 2017) to which this is the Introductory

Part. I am very thankful to the different National Reporters for that Congress on whose

work this Chapter fabricates: Graeme W. Austin; Christoph Busch; Lung-Sheng Chen; João Fachana;

Vincenzo Franceschelli, Oreste Pollicin.
