Abstract:
Google’s, Apple’s, and other companies’ automated assistants are increasingly serving as personal shoppers. These digital intermediaries will save us time by purchasing grocery items, transferring bank accounts, and subscribing to cable. The literature has only begun to hint at the paradigm shift needed to navigate the legal risks and rewards of this coming era of automated commerce. This Article begins to fill that gap by surveying legal battles related to contract exit, data access, and deception that will determine the extent to which automated assistants are able to help consumers to search and switch, potentially bringing tremendous societal benefits. Whereas observers have largely focused on protecting consumers and sellers from digital intermediaries’ market power, sellers like Amazon, Comcast, and Wells Fargo can also harm consumers by obstructing automated assistants. Advancing consumer welfare in the automated era requires not just consumer protection, but digital intermediary protection. The Article also shows the unpredictable side of eliminating switching costs. If digital assistants become pervasive, they could gain the ability to rapidly direct millions of consumers to new purchases whenever a lower price or new innovation becomes available. Significantly accelerated consumer switching—what I call hyperswitching—does not inevitably harm society. But in the extreme it could make some large markets more volatile, raising unemployment costs or financial stability concerns as more firms fail. This new kind of disruption could pose challenges for commercial and banking regulators akin to those familiar to securities regulators, who deploy idiosyncratic tools such as a pause button for the stock market. Even if sellers prevent extreme hyperswitching, managers may strategically prepare for hyperswitching with economically costly behavior such as hoarding liquid assets or forming conglomerates to provide insurance against a sudden exodus of customers. The transaction-cost-focused literature has missed macro-level drawbacks. The regulatory architecture reflects these scholarly gaps. One set of agencies regulates automated assistants for consumer protection and antitrust violations but does not go beyond those microeconomic inquiries. Nor do they prioritize strengthening digital intermediaries. Regulators with more macroeconomic missions lack jurisdiction over automated assistants. The intellectual framework and regulatory architecture should expand to encompass both the upsides and downsides of digital consumer sovereignty.

Abstract:
With the inevitability of further expansion, improvement and systematization of the mechanism of legal regulation of relations developing in the digital environment, the accuracy of legal and doctrinal terminology, its compliance with the already established system of conceptual and categorical apparatus, subject area and trends of legal regulation remains a significant task. The conflict of doctrinal approaches in the issue of terminological designation of such a phenomenon as the intensifying regulation of digital phenomena is incompatible with the dogmatism of law, requires more certainty, but for this it is necessary to resolve, according to the authors of the article, the main question: which of the terms most accurately corresponds to the nature of the emerging system of norms – “digital law” or “digitalization of law”?

Abstract:
The regulation of social processes is part of a state’s sovereignty. States apply their law to shape and control social and economic conditions within their territory. Law as an instrument for coordinating human behaviour and for balancing colliding interests within the society is linked to human behaviour, either individually or within human organisations. The basic prerequisite for the existence of law is human interaction based on emotions, desires, and the pursuit of interests. Law and trust (interpersonal trust or system trust) are connected to each other. This leads to the assumption that law loses its relevance with a decrease of the relevance of trust. This article explores the question of which factors of current and future digitalisation could lead to a loss of the relevance of trust and of the relevance of the aspect of human behaviour as a connecting factor for legal norms. The article concludes that technological globalisation and ubiquity of the internet have already led to a loss of state territorial sovereignty. This has resulted in the diminution of system trust in law. The article further shows how digitalisation is pushing back the relevance of human behaviour and emotionality and, therefore, technicity is increasingly displacing law. The article describes the connection between deterritorialization and the development of new disruptive digital technologies and asks about the future role of ethics in the legal system of an advanced digitalised society. The development of concrete solutions and legislative proposals is subject to further studies.

Abstract:
Digitalization of all (or almost all) spheres of human life also affects the problems of law and law enforcement. Purpose: to analyze some aspects of digitalization of crime, human rights and freedoms, administration of justice. Methods: analysis of literary sources, statistics, theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic are used. Results: the review of the dynamics of modern crime rate and structure in the world and in Russia allows us to conclude that there is a tendency to reduce the crime rate, especially violent crime, and the emergence of new types of «digital» crimes - cybercrimes, fraud in the field of computer technology. The use of digital methods of observing over people has given rise to a new and complex problem: «security measures versus human rights and freedoms», «orwellization» of life. Digital methods will increasingly be used in the administration of justice. «Electronic scales of justice», offering a measure of punishment in a specific criminal case is one of the implementations of introducing digitalization in judicial proceedings.

Intellectual Property is an ideology of the late Twentieth Century which reserves property-like rights in information, so that creators may extract its economic value. Current American copyright law draws mainly from this concept; it has been constructed through history by negotiation between various established economic interests. Information Freedom is a competing ideology which has been successful in the software community. It emphasizes the dangers of over-propertization and the benefits of freely accessible resources, especially non-depletable information resources. Compromise must be reached in a practical (non-ideological) fashion in order to achieve the social goals of: production of creative content (encouraged by fair but not excessive compensation for creators); promotion of scientific, political, technical, artistic, cultural, and economic progress by removing obstacles to accessing content and taking advantage of innovations which change the status quo; protection of creative freedom; and ensuring quality and diversity in the content which is created. Civil disobedience as a means to achieve these goals may be counterproductive if it results in tighter technological restrictions on content availability or stricter legal mechanisms; legal reforms proposed by Lawrence Lessig and Jessica Litman are unlikely to be enacted. Internet-based technologies have strong potential to increase exposure to diversity, decrease costs, and improve the subjective experience for music consumers. Cheaper film-making equipment may have similar positive effects for motion pictures to a lesser degree. Internet bandwidth and other practical limitations suggest that immediate changes in video distribution and consumption patterns are more likely to be driven by the availability of Digital Video Recorders, or perhaps competing Video On Demand services. Different economic models which fund content creation may be appropriate for different applications, and may in some cases further social goals better than strong propertization. Alternative models include voluntary contributions (either from creators or consumers); indirect benefit by establishing reputation, selling related services, cross-promotion, or selling advertising; and public funding. The history of telecommunication, including the telegraph, radio, television, and the Internet, provides evidence that important uses for new technology may not be initially obvious, that the maturation of digital information technology and related economic models is just beginning.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers how our modern hyperconnected lives affect the development of individual identity. An important component of the following analysis evaluates the law’s role – if any – in the mediation of this digital influence: Should the law intervene? And if so, how? The research presented begins by assessing the current legal protections for individual data and privacy, and the shortfalls of those protections. As such, the research begins with a consideration of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’). The GDPR has introduced some novel protections that include extraterritorial applicability. The GDPR therefore represents global best practice in the area of law and the digital space making it especially relevant to any critique of the law, its efficacy, and its potential to effect change both in the digital space and in relation to the digital influences over individual identity. Unfortunately, many of the novel protections provided by the GDPR are undermined or even nullified by the individual’s consent to the terms and conditions that govern most agreements relevant to the digital space. The next section of this thesis, therefore, examines the doctrine of legal consent and how consent is used to sidestep legal protections that would otherwise prevent data access and misuse. This examination of consent exposes fundamental flaws in the way consent occurs in the digital space and demonstrates why traditional legal consent is not fit-for-purpose when applied to digital and online interactions. One of the more challenging aspects of this analysis related to the lack of language or terminology which could accurately capture and explain the mechanisms of digital influence. This thesis therefore introduces a theory of digital influence referred to as ‘digital translation’. This theory illustrates not only how digital influence occurs, but also the inherent assumptions underlying this process and the role of digitality. This theory also accounts for the way in which decisions are made in the digital space and applied to a digital version of the person to produce outcomes in the real or material world. Algorithms or automated decision-making systems play a fundamental role in this process. The theory of digital translation as presented in this thesis therefore depicts how algorithms directly affect individual outcomes and identity, and precisely identifies the points at which this influence occurs. Other important concepts introduced are the ‘data entity’, the ‘digital translation’ and the ‘digital proxy’. Digital translation also explains how the digital proxy acts as a ‘stand in’ for the real person and is assumed to be accurate or ‘real’ despite being incomplete and context dependent. Algorithms are, therefore, a central theme of this research as they are used to define and describe the person, or to simplify a process or question so that it can be reduced to a set of data-based variables. This thesis demonstrates how algorithmic interventions undermine individual autonomy by denying the individual essential opportunities to selfdefine, to change one’s mind, and limiting the individual’s options or opportunities. The automation of these decision-making processes further affects personal autonomy by denying the individual any opportunity to correct erroneous assumptions or misconceptions about them, their personality, or their attributes. ‘Automation bias’ allows assumptions of accuracy to justify the denial of human review or oversight. When algorithms are combined with automation bias, there is little chance for individual recourse except in instances of system-wide failures. Centrelink’s online compliance intervention (OCI) is a prominent example of a system-wide failure and is presented in Chapter 4. Centrelink’s OCI sought to audit and identify those defrauding the system, but due to a design flaw suspended the payments of a large proportion of welfare recipients and threatened many with legal action. Chapter 5 directly addresses legal capacity and autonomy as a central tenet of the law and its application. This chapter’s research demonstrates how algorithms and the digital space undermine personal autonomy. This chapter proposes three essential elements of personal autonomy and describes how they are undermined by the digital space. This denial of autonomy also raises questions of the quality of accountability and responsibility, and whether legal personhood is threatened by the digital space. Chapter 6 then considers the threat of algorithms and automation bias when used to determine matters of freedom and personal liberty. This chapter evaluates the algorithm known as the Risk Assessment Tool which was used to inform the allocation of policing resources in the state of New South Wales. The research demonstrates that deployment of algorithms in these instances can also have a marked effect on the individual’s social identity by inducing perceptions of criminality with the subject’s community, in addition to feelings of persecution, isolation, or worthlessness. Social identity and core personal beliefs are also informed and shaped by our social networks. Chapter 7 therefore considers the impact of social media algorithm recommendations that prioritise some friends over others. By determining which friendships flourish and which friendships fade, social media recommendations affect social and personal identity by not only changing how the individual sees themselves, but also their beliefs, their self-narratives, and their understanding of the world around them. This thesis concludes by examining how the law can protect the individual against these forms of digital influence. It suggests a new legal approach that focuses on the outcomes produced from data and digital decision-making processes instead of traditional approaches that centre on data or privacy alone. The research also advocates for a regulatory approach which blends self-regulation and external oversight in a way similar to those introduced by the GDPR.

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to address and clarify the changing interface between copyright law and other forms of regulation in the digital environment, in the context of recorded music. This is in order to explain the problems that rightsholders have had in tackling the issue of unauthorised copyright infringement facilitated by digital technologies. Copyright law is inextricably bound-up with technological developments, but the ‘convergence’ of content into a single digital form was perceived as problematic by rightsholders and was deemed to warrant increased regulation through law. However, the problem is that the reliance on copyright law in the digital environment ignores the other regulatory influences in operation. The use of copyright law in a ‘preventative’ sense also ignores the fact that other regulatory factors may positively encourage users to behave, and consume in ways that may not be directly governed by copyright. The issues digital technologies have posed for rightsholders in the music industry are not addressed, or even potentially addressable directly through law, because the regulatory picture is complex. The work of Lawrence Lessig, in relation to his regulatory ‘modalities’ can be applied in this context in order to identify and understand the other forms of regulation that exist in the digital environment, and which govern user behaviour and consumption. By combining his work with that of other scholars in the field, a bespoke ‘Lessigan’ framework is formulated to address and analyse those other regulatory factors in conjunction with actions undertaken by rightsholders to secure their copyrights in the digital age. The thesis will analyse the effect such reliance on copyright law may have on these regulatory influences, and the creative potential of the digital environment.

Abstract:
Digital technology is challenging traditional copyright principles. Despite suggestions from a number of commentators that copyright cannot survive the challenge, this thesis aims to demonstrate that copyright can evolve and adapt rather than face elimination. This hypothesis is tested and illustrated by means of an examination of law in conjunction with technology, and by means of concrete examples. Analysis of the author's position in the face of digital technology requires firstly, an investigation of the way in which the existence and exercise of the author's copyright itself is affected by such technology, and secondly, an examination of how the author's standing in relation to dissemination of works generally is concerned (e.g. as regards freedom of speech). It is with the first of these aspects that this thesis is mainly concerned, although, for the sake of a more comprehensive view, some considerations on the second aspect are also advanced. This thesis examines challenges raised in the copyright field by digital technology and the consequential problems in relation to classification of subject matter, identification of authors, fixation and reproduction, the criterion of originality, the meaning of publication, recognition of moral rights, recognition of economic rights, exceptions and limitations, liability of service providers, authenticity of works, infringement, feasibility of enforcement and conflict of laws. Broader issues relating to Government and private control of access to the new media are also analysed. The analysis is focused on copyright subsistence as well as infringement. Furthermore, both the legal and the technological aspects are considered (with the aid of a comprehensive glossary of technological terms). The approach is one of law and technology in equal measure. In the context of these problems there follows a critical examination and comparison of the main national systems, the main international instruments, and the main regional instruments. This systematic survey seeks to encapsulate the work of learned authors in a concise manner, leading to certain proposals. The approach is one of criticism and selection of feasible and practical solutions. Nearly all elements of the proposed solutions exist already, albeit in a fragmented way. These solutions are based on law and on technology, and are formulated to apply in both the analogue and digital worlds. The thesis concludes that for an effective solution of the problems raised by digital technology, an international standard for copyright protection must be adopted, one apposite for the digital world. The thesis puts forward detailed suggestions towards the adoption of an International Digital Copyright Protection System, in the form of definitional, obligational, conflict of laws and technological proposals, whose common denominator is the will to find new answers for the digital challenges. The definitional proposals will clarify conceptual questions arising from the digital revolution. The obligational proposals will regulate the issue of exemptions from liability and duties of Internet service providers. The conflict of laws proposals will address the problems arising in connection with jurisdiction and applicable law on the Internet. The technological proposals will give practical effect to the system by focusing on deterrence and tracing of copyright infringement.

Abstract:
This dissertation seeks to comparatively analyse different emerging jurisprudence of pioneering jurisdictions on the operability of enforcing digital copyright in light of the growing use of the Darknet. It addresses the legal lacuna in the existing copyright laws with regards to enforcement against the illegal distribution of infringing copies of online digital content. It also seeks to illustrate how the concept of digital copyright protection has been compromised by the inoperability of enforcement laws on illegal distribution via the Darknet. It thereby advocates for a 'digital use' exemption and or free access as a recommendation. Although the advancement of technology created new and advanced forms of distribution or availing copyrighted works to the public, these new advanced channels of distribution have been compromised by rogue online clandestine file sharing networks. Digital copyright protection laws have been advanced so as to respond to illegal online file sharing, however, they have had limited impact due to the vast, flexible and unregulated nature of the internet which transcends the territorial nature of any single state's copyright laws. Currently, online file sharing is effected through peer to peer networks due to their operational convenience. This dissertation suggests that the need to control distribution, legally or technological, is driven by the urge to enable digital copyright owners to benefit financially from their works and get a return on their investment. Technologically, this has been effected through the adoption of Digital Rights Management (DRMs) measures that control access to these works through the use of paywalls on commercial websites that require online consumers to pay/ subscribe first before they gain access to the copyrighted works. (eg Netflix, Showmax, itunes e.t.c) However, since absolute control over one's digital works, online, is impossible, the success of these access-control mechanisms remains debatable and remain vulnerable to technologically sophisticated users who could easily circumvent them and make the protected works available to millions of other users in Darknets. This, in effect, creates a parallel and free market for digital content. Darknets have grown as the new preferred channel of distribution due to their unique features which have rendered any judicial or legislative threat of sanctions, merely academic and detached from practical application. The Darknet essentially provides for user privacy, in anonymity, and security from monitoring and detection. These two primary features have exacerbated online piracy as various Darknets ISPs have now developed more user-friendly Darknet versions for the average mainstream user. This dissertation will highlight how the digital creative industry faces an existential threat with the growing use of Darknets. Darknets have created a virtual environment where illegal digital content distribution continues with impunity, since the burden of the enforceability of copyright rests squarely on the individual copyright holder and the pursuit of liability only begins upon detection of any such infringement of copyright. In effect, copyright owners, most often than not, lack the technological expertise to monitor and detect and thereby cannot enforce their copyright. As such, this dissertation postulates that the legal/ technological effort to maintain any form of monopoly over digital content online is an unattainable objective. As a solution, to end both online piracy and safeguarding the financial interests of copyright owners, a change in the approach to digital copyright is needed. This will be achieved through creating a 'digital use' exemption and or free access. Rather than copyright owners trying to control access, they should provide free access and profit on alternative revenue business models. Free access to digital content will do away with the need of online users to pirate and also save copyright owners the effort and resource to keep monitoring the virtual world for infringement. It will also counter-react to the Darknet's parallel market since users will have free access to digital content from the official distribution websites. This dissertation will interrogate the viability of this option.

Magister Legum - LLM (Mercantile and Labour Law)
It is justifiable for the holder of copyright to be entitled to its protection and to be granted the exclusive right to profit from their innovation, and this is the basis for the development of laws promoting intellectual property rights. Accordingly, the principle of allowing for copyright protection is more than justifiable. Modern copyright is traditionally defined as the right that a creator has in their literary or artistic works. These types of works include computer programmes, films, books and music. Modern copyright protection finds its origins in the Berne Convention of 1886 which provided authors with a standardised means to control how their works are used, by whom they are used and on what terms they can be used. All countries who are signatories to the Berne Convention, like South Africa, are required to provide its Copyright holders with a minimum degree of protection.

Abstract:
The rights to freedom of expression and dignity do not discriminate and apply equally to all South Africans. There was a time when the ability to impart information on a large scale belonged to a tiny percentage of society. Prior to the 1990s the media were South Africa’s gatekeepers of information in the public interest. Today, regular South Africans who are not affiliated with the media have information publication and distribution abilities that exceed that of traditional media sources such as newspapers and magazines. The ability to damage reputations on a large scale was previously unique to the media. Today, any person can ruin another’s reputation with the click of a button. Although media members and regular persons are equally able to defame, the law still distinguishes between media defendants and non-media defendants in defamation cases based largely on the powerful position and exclusive abilities the media once held. The differentiation affects liability in terms of the presumptions of wrongfulness and fault that arise where defamation occurred. In order to disprove the presumption of wrongfulness where defamation occurred, media defendants may use the exclusive defence of ‘reasonable publication.’ By proving that they had acted reasonably in publishing the defamatory content, media members can evade liability. In order to be held at fault for defaming, media members need only have been negligent, whereas intention is required on the part of non-media defendants. The law of defamation balances the rights to freedom of expression and human dignity in a way that must be constitutionally justifiable.

Abstract:
The relatively recent global emergence of distributed data storage technologies and their various applications are entering a market of digital assets and draw up a new, intangible property class. Consequently, property-legal aspects of using digital assets and emergence of digital property law become increasingly important. These legal issues warrant an integrated and functional approach and are affecting reconsidering of property law and broad understanding of property by categorizing of digital assets as property. Digital assets are a new asset class whose adoption necessitates a transformation of absolute property rights similar from exclusively tangible ownership to such intangible ownership as intellectual property, as well as from a materialized securities and negotiable documents (bills of lading, bill of exchange) to a fully dematerialized securities, electronical negotiable documents and online-accounts. This approach is based on the extending the rules on the rights in rem and other property absolute rights to the items created for the rights in personam, whereby items stemming from contractual relationships have become the subjects of property regime. This paper explores how property law can manage this transition in a proper way and employ distributed ledger technology to increase the efficiency of their operations and to provide digital assets in an integrated way. Starting by describing the concepts of digital assets property law, the paper then describes the concept of property, and then concept of digital assets and their categorizing as property, thereby focusing on а framework for a future digital assets property law of the selected civil law and common law jurisdictions.

Full text
Abstract:
Commercialization of consumers’ personal data in the digital economy poses serious, both conceptual and practical, challenges to the traditional approach of European Union (EU) Consumer Law. This article argues that mass-spread, automated, algorithmic decision-making casts doubt on the foundational paradigm of EU consumer law: consent and autonomy. Moreover, it poses threats of discrimination and under- mining of consumer privacy. It is argued that the recent legislative reaction by the EU Commission, in the form of the ‘New Deal for Consumers’, was a step in the right direction, but fell short due to its continued reliance on consent, autonomy and failure to adequately protect consumers from indirect discrimination. It is posited that a focus on creating a contracting landscape where the consumer may be properly informed in material respects is required, which in turn necessitates blending the approaches of competition, consumer protection and data protection laws.

Abstract:
In this working paper, our focus is on the constitutional debates and case law regarding the right to privacy, adopting a method that is largely theoretical. In an accompanying separate working paper, A South African Public Law Perspective on Digitalisation in the Health Sector, we employ the analysis developed here and focus on the specific case of digital technologies in the health sector. The topic and task of these papers lie at the confluence of many areas of contemporary society. To demonstrate and apply the argument of this paper, it would be possible and valuable to extend its analysis into any of numerous spheres of social life, from energy to education to policing to child care. In our accompanying separate paper, we focus on only one policy domain – the health sector. Our aim is to demonstrate our argument about the significance of a public law perspective on the constitutional right to privacy in the age of digitalisation, and attend to several issues raised by digitalisation’s impact in the health sector. For the most part, we focus on technologies that have health benefits and privacy costs, but we also recognise that certain technologies have health costs and privacy benefits. We also briefly outline the recent establishment (and subsequent events) in South Africa of a contact tracing database responding to the COVID-19 pandemic – the COVID-19 Tracing Database – a development at the interface of the law enforcement and health sectors. Our main point in this accompanying paper is to demonstrate the value that a constitutional right to privacy can bring to the regulation of digital technologies in a variety of legal frameworks and technological settings – from public to private, and from the law of the constitution to the ‘law’ of computer coding.

Full text
Abstract:
This research brief details findings from a recent collaborative project exploring different groups related to Atomwaffen Division (AWD) on Telegram. The brief provides an initial foray into understanding the digital communicative practices these AWD-related groups use to maintain their loose structure as a transnational, digitally networked extremist culture. Groups affiliated with the meta-brand of AWD are continuing to develop globally and building a transnational, digital networked culture, despite increased scrutiny. This indicates that their structure as a digitally networked, transnational culture provides resilience to traditional policy and law enforcement approaches. Addressing this threat requires insight into the practices that such groups use to interconnect their now multi-nodal, supranational organization.

Abstract:
Los países de América Latina y el Caribe buscan fortalecer las habilidades digitales, especialmente entre aquellos grupos con más riesgo de exclusión y en la población económicamente activa, para fomentar el uso de la infraestructura digital desplegada. Les falta, sin embargo, una hoja de ruta. Este documento contesta las tres preguntas que son clave para cerrar esta brecha: i) ¿Por qué una estrategia para el desarrollo de habilidades digitales? ii) ¿De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de ser competente digitalmente? iii) ¿Cómo pasar de la teoría a la acción? Se proponen pasos para el diseño del plan estratégico de cada intervención nacional y se comparten herramientas para pasar de la teoría a la acción para: i) mejorar las competencias digitales básicas de la ciudadanía, con énfasis en poblaciones con más riesgo de exclusión digital; ii) dotar a la población económicamente activa de las competencias digitales requeridas para conseguir empleo, mejorar su situación laboral actual o iniciar emprendimientos; iii) atender la demanda de especialistas en tecnologías digitales, y iv) reducir la brecha digital de género.

Abstract:
¿Cómo deberían gravar las transacciones digitales los gobiernos nacionales y subnacionales? La teoría concluye que una de las razones por las cuales los gobiernos subnacionales deberían tener mayor injerencia impositiva sobre una actividad económica es cuando presenta externalidades a nivel local (por ejemplo, generando contaminación y congestión en áreas urbanas). Este documento revisa las características y externalidades de las transacciones digitales y las implicancias que éstas tienen para el sistema tributario y las finanzas intergubernamentales de América Latina y el Caribe. También identifica las prácticas internacionales y las nuevas opciones usadas en distintos países del mundo y de la región para la tributación subnacional de la economía digital y la financiación local, y ofrece algunas reflexiones y una agenda de desafíos futuros para avanzar en este ámbito.
