How does Jurisdiction affect Digital Media?

On May 19, 2016, I&J Project’s Director Bertrand de La Chapelle spoke on a panel in the 9th annual Legal Frontiers in Digital Media conference, organized by the Media Law Resource Center and the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology. The two-day conference explored emerging legal issues surrounding digital content in today’s multi-platform world, and was held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, USA.

The panel, titled Digital Media Meets Data Nationalism: Global Strategies to Cope, employed a series of role-playing exercises concerning content takedown and user data request scenarios to highlight the challenges posed by cross-border requests. In addition to providing legal and practical guidance, the panelists considered the pros and cons of proposed global strategies for improvement.
