Van databankindustrie naar data‑economie: 25 jaar Databankenwet download
Abstract
Ooit was het idee dat een bijzonder beschermingsregime nodig was voor de jonge Europese databankindustrie: het sui generis recht. Met de Databankenwet kreeg ook Nederland er in 1999 dat volwaardig intellectueel eigendomsrecht bij. Fast forward twintig jaar, en we zien dat er een andere wind uit Brussel is gaan waaien: nieuwe wetgeving gericht op de ontwikkeling van de zogenaamde ‘data-economie’. Onder meer de Open datarichtlijn, Datagovernanceverordening en Dataverordening moeten bijdragen aan een interne markt waarin data zo vrij mogelijk kan stromen. Hoe verhoudt deze recente wetgeving tot de Databankrichtlijn? Dit artikel schetst hoe het sui generis recht
langzaam uitgehold raakt.

Intellectual Property in the Age of the Environmental Crisis: How Trademarks and Copyright Challenge the Human Right to a Healthy Environment
Abstract
In the face of the escalating environmental crisis driven by overconsumption, there is a growing recognition of the urgent need for environmental consciousness and a sustainable, circular economy. Practices like repair, refurbishment, and fashion upcycling have emerged as tangible efforts to mitigate the negative effects of this crisis. Perhaps unexpectedly, however, trademark and copyright laws clash with these endeavours, placing obstacles to sustainability goals. This paper contributes to the emerging literature devoted to studying this problem by undertaking the first in-depth analysis of the issue from a human rights law perspective. It specifically investigates the nature, scope, impact on, and consequences for intellectual property protection of the evolving human right to a
healthy environment. Following a short introduction, the paper delves into the legal nature of obstacles posed by trademark and copyright protection to environmental sustainability, scrutinizes the human right to a healthy environment with a European emphasis, and proposes strategies for reconciling trademark and copyright protection with this fundamental right. The key findings are summarised at the end.

Anticipating impacts: using large‑scale scenario‑writing to explore diverse implications of generative AI in the news environment
Abstract
The tremendous rise of generative AI has reached every part of society—including the news environment. There are many
concerns about the individual and societal impact of the increasing use of generative AI, including issues such as disinformation and misinformation, discrimination, and the promotion of social tensions. However, research on anticipating the
impact of generative AI is still in its infancy and mostly limited to the views of technology developers and/or researchers.
In this paper, we aim to broaden the perspective and capture the expectations of three stakeholder groups (news consumers;
technology developers; content creators) about the potential negative impacts of generative AI, as well as mitigation strategies to address these. Methodologically, we apply scenario-writing and use participatory foresight in the context of a survey
(n=119) to delve into cognitively diverse imaginations of the future. We qualitatively analyze the scenarios using thematic
analysis to systematically map potential impacts of generative AI on the news environment, potential mitigation strategies,
and the role of stakeholders in causing and mitigating these impacts. In addition, we measure respondents' opinions on a
specifc mitigation strategy, namely transparency obligations as suggested in Article 52 of the draft EU AI Act. We compare
the results across diferent stakeholder groups and elaborate on diferent expected impacts across these groups. We conclude
by discussing the usefulness of scenario-writing and participatory foresight as a toolbox for generative AI impact assessment.

EU-regulering van politieke microtargeting in Nederland: onderzoek faciliteren en negeren download
Abstract
De regulering van politieke microtargeting plaatst wetgevers voor een dilemma. Aan de ene kant zien zij in politieke microtargeting een groot potentieel gevaar voor de democratie dat met wetgeving moet worden ingedamd. Aan de andere kant schuilt deel van het gevaar van politieke microtargeting er juist in dat het niet transparant is, waardoor het onduidelijk blijft hoe en in welke mate politieke microtargeting de democratie precies bedreigt. De Europese wetgever heeft met de Verordening betreffende transparantie en gerichte politieke reclame de eerste poging gewaagd om de schimmige praktijk van politieke microtargeting te reguleren. Dit artikel evalueert de gepastheid van de Verordening in het licht van het bestaande empirische bewijs over de manier waarop politieke microtargeting in Nederland wordt toegepast.
