The internet is one enormous network with a vast amount of data. Who owns all this different data? Who may use this data? For what purpose? Some downloads happen legally, while others don’t. How do we know what’s legal and what’s not? What kind of law is applicable? What should we do about the people who violate the rules and how do we regulate this? And how about data protection and data ownership, for example in healthcare and medical research? Opinions on these topics may vary for every person and jurisdiction. Feel free to drop in and discuss these issues with the following panel of experts.
