Copyright Reconstructed: Rethinking Copyright’s Economic Rights in a Time of Highly Dynamic Technological and Economic Change external link
Abstract
The historical evolution of copyright has led to a growing disconnect between the legal definitions of economic rights and the business and technological realities they regulate, eroding copyright’s normative content and distorting the scope of its economic rights. This book, which consolidates the results of a major trans-European research project funded by Microsoft Europe, re-examines the core economic rights protected under EU copyright law, with the aim of bringing these rights more in line with economic and technological realities.

Differences in mobile health app use: A source of new digital inequalities? external link
Abstract
This article provides a more differentiated understanding of mobile health consumers, and considers whether health app use may contribute to new digital inequalities. It focuses on factors associated with mobile health app use, and identifies which factors explain the use of different types of health apps. Data from a large representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 1,079) show that mobile health app users were generally younger, higher educated, and had higher levels of e-health literacy skills than non-users. Interestingly, different usage patterns were found for specific types of health apps. Theory and policy implications are discussed.

Annotatie bij Hof Amsterdam 30 januari 2018 (Schaap / Gemeente Amsterdam) external link
Abstract
Vordering tegen de Gemeente Amsterdam tot plaatsing op de afgesproken locatie op de groenstrook langs de Theophile de Bockstraat in Amsterdam-Zuid door de maker Femke Schaap van het kunstwerk ‘Westland Wells’,
ondanks hardnekkig verzet door de buurtbewoners tegen die plaatsing. Het hof is niet gebonden aan de belangenafweging die heeft geleid tot verlening van een omgevingsvergunning voor plaatsing op de afgesproken locatie. De
gemeente is op grond van de overeenkomst van opdracht niet verplicht om het kunstwerk te plaatsen op de oorspronkelijk overeengekomen locatie, maar, gezien de strekking van de overeenkomst, wel tot plaatsing elders.
De auteursrechtelijke grondslag ter onderbouwing van vordering is nu de contractuele grondslag is toegewezen niet meer van belang.

The Right to Communications Confidentiality in Europe: Protecting Trust, Privacy, and Freedom of Expression external link
Abstract
In the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides comprehensive rules for the processing of personal data. In addition, the EU lawmaker intends to adopt specific rules to protect confidentiality of communications, in a separate ePrivacy Regulation. Some have argued that there is no need for such additional rules for communications confidentiality.
This paper discusses the protection of the right to confidentiality of communications in Europe. We look at the right’s origins as a fundamental right to assess the rationale for protecting the right. We also analyse how the right is currently protected under the European Convention on Human Rights and under EU law.
We show that the right to communications confidentiality protects three values: trust in communication services, privacy, and freedom of expression. The right aims to ensure that individuals and businesses can safely entrust communication to service providers. Initially, the right protected only postal letters, but it has gradually developed into a strong safeguard for the protection of confidentiality of communications, regardless of the technology used.
Hence, the right does not merely serve individual privacy interests, but also other interests that are crucial for the functioning of our information society. We conclude that separate EU rules to protect communications confidentiality, next to the GDPR, are justified and necessary to protect trust, privacy and freedom and expression.
