SAT – Law and ICT
Legal issues are increasingly relevant for providers and users of ICT infrastructure and services. Legal rules have been typically designed for an environment characterized by paper-based information processing and national territories. This picture has completely changed with the advent of global network infrastructures and services, the convergence of telecommunications and audiovisual media and mobile communications. Intellectual property, privacy and other legal values are seriously challenged in this new environment. Traditional legal concepts such as “authenticity”, “signature” “property”, etc. have to be re-interpreted and new legal solutions have to be developed in order to cope with the challenges and risks related to the use of ICT. New categories of intermediaries, trusted third parties and service providers have appeared on the scene with specific responsibilities and liabilities. National borders are progressively blurring and solutions have to be found on a global scale. The Division “Law and ICT” also deals with the impact of ICT on the administration of justice (“e-justice”) and, more generally, for the legal profession (“legal informatics”).
