Internet intermediaries play a central role in modern commerce and the dissemination of ideas. Although their economic and social importance is well-recognized, their legal liability remains poorly understood, and, until now, no work has specifically addressed their legal responsibility for wrongdoing carried out by third parties using their facilities or platforms. This work fills that gap by providing comprehensive coverage of the legal duties owed by intermediaries and the increasingly complex schemes that regulate their activities. The first part of the work introduces the concept of an internet intermediary, general doctrines of primary and secondary liability, and the European enforcement regime. The second part examines the liability of intermediaries in specific areas of law, with a detailed analysis of the applicable liability rules, and the major English case law, and decisions of the Court of Justice that interpret and apply them. The final part of the work provides guidance on remedies and limitations. Written by an expert author from the intellectual property chambers at 8 New Square, Lincoln's Inn, this is an essential guide for lawyers advising on IP matters and disputes involving internet content.

What Is Digital Currency While all cryptocurrencies can be termed as digital currencies, the reverse is not true. Cryptocurrencies are managed by a computer algorithm, while digital currencies are backed by an authority Now, digital currencies exhibit properties like other currencies, but do not have a physical form like that of banknotes and coins. You can receive, transfer and / or exchange digital currency for another currency. For example, it can be used to pay for goods and services, in an online store. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are pieces of computer code that are not managed by any authority. Creation, as well as use, is maintained through a distributed ledger, typically a blockchain, that serves as a public financial transaction database. So, cryptocurrencies typically use decentralized control where there is no presence of a third party to have authority over the investor. One of the most significant differences between digital currency and cryptocurrency is the underlying technology. Digital currency is a digital format of fiat money whereas cryptocurrencies are built on the blockchain. Cryptocurrencies are not under the control of any single entity. Digital currency, however, is under the direct control of the central bank. When it comes to digital currency, the issuing authority is of prime importance.
