Internet Service Provider Liability for Copyright and Trade Mark InfringementTowards an EU Co-Regulatory Framework\nAuthor(s): Zoi Krokida\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: Hart Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781509948567, 978-1509948567\nSynopsis\nThis book critically evaluates the EU regulatory framework for the liability of host Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for copyright and trade mark infringements and provides a cluster of novel recommendations for its improvement. \n\nThe book recommends the imposition of a duty of care to host ISPs to curb the dissemination of unauthorised works and counterfeit goods, the ascription of a transparency obligation to host ISPs towards their users, and the establishment of a supervisory authority for host ISPs.\n\nHost ISPs have facilitated the dissemination of content amongst users and the purchase of goods online, enabling copyright holders and brand owners to attract a greater audience for their work.
