One of Jisc’s activities is to monitor and, where possible, influence regulatory developments that affect us and our customer universities, colleges and schools as operators of large computer networks. Since Janet and its customer networks are classified by Ofcom as private networks, postings here are likely to concentrate on the regulation of those networks. Postings here are, to the best of our knowledge, accurate on the date they are made, but may well become out of date or unreliable at unpredictable times thereafter. Before taking action that may have legal consequences, you should talk to your own lawyers. NEW: To help navigate the many posts on the General Data Protection Regulation, I've classified them as most relevant to developing a GDPR compliance process, GDPR's effect on specific topics, or how the GDPR is being developed. Or you can just use my free GDPR project plan.

ISOC Report on Copyright Enforcement

Monday, August 13, 2012 - 11:08

I'm pleased to report that the Internet Society has published a discussion paper looking at different methods being proposed around the world to respond to the use of the Internet to breach Intellectual Property Rights. For each of the approaches - graduated response and suspension of access,  traffic shaping, blocking, content identification and filtering, and DNS manipulation - the paper looks at the implications for the Internet, Internet technologies, access and use.

It was interesting working with ISOC and other members of the Internet community to develop the paper - I hope it'll be an equally interesting read.
