In this groundbreaking collaboration, regulatory lawyer Christopher Marsden and computer scientist Ian Brown analyze the regulatory shaping of “code”—the technological environment of the Internet—to achieve more economically efficient and socially just regulation. They examine five “hard cases” that illustrate the regulatory crisis: privacy and data protection; copyright and creativity incentives; censorship; social networks and user-generated content; and net neutrality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors describe the increasing “multistakeholderization” of Internet governance, in which user groups argue for representation in the closed business-government dialogue, seeking to bring in both rights-based and technologically expert perspectives. Brown and Marsden draw out lessons for better future regulation from the regulatory and interoperability failures illustrated by the five cases. They conclude that governments, users, and better functioning markets need a smarter “prosumer law” approach. Prosumer law would be designed to enhance the competitive production of public goods, including innovation, public safety, and fundamental democratic rights.Acknowledgments vii\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Regulating the Information Giants ix\u003cbr\u003e1 Mapping the Hard Cases 1\u003cbr\u003e2 Code Constraints on Regulation and Competition 21\u003cbr\u003e3 Privacy and Data Protection 47\u003cbr\u003e4 Copyrights 69\u003cbr\u003e5 Censors 93\u003cbr\u003e6 Social Networking Services 117\u003cbr\u003e7 Smart Pipes: Net Neutrality and Innovation 139\u003cbr\u003e8 Comparative Case Study Analysis 163\u003cbr\u003e9 Holistic Regulation of the Interoperable Internet 183\u003cbr\u003eGlossary of Abbreviations and Terms 205\u003cbr\u003eReferences 211\u003cbr\u003eIndex 257Ian Brown is Professor of Information Security and Privacy at Oxford University's Oxford Internet Institute.
