Book Description
This dissertation is a rhetorical inquiry into digital rights advocacy. Digital rights--the set of rights and liberties that best ensure an individual's ability to access information and participate in online space--are of increasing importance as network technology spreads into more areas of modern life. A central contribution of this study is that there is a feedback loop between law, technology, and discourse that structures and informs advocacy. Another primary contribution is the concept of vernacular legal expertise, or legal knowledge acquired in the absence of official legal credentials that allows individuals to advocate for their rights. This study argues that without accounting for vernacular legal expertise, we risk not fully understanding the complex interactions of law, technology, and discourse in digital rights advocacy. The three case studies comprising this study--net neutrality, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Section 1201 rulemaking, and the debate over revenge porn (or non-consensual pornography) legislation--highlight different levels of vernacular intervention by documenting different ways that the feedback loop between law, discourse, and technology manifests itself. By examining the arguments made by everyday people and their advocates across these three diverse case studies, this research illustrates the role of vernacular legal expertise in digital rights advocacy by highlighting the fundamental assumptions, or topoi, in which groups base their arguments. These arguments are rooted in early-internet beliefs in the natural resistance of the internet to regulation, a sense of free speech absolutism, and a belief in tinkering as a right and a liberatory endeavor. This creates a tension in digital rights advocacy between government regulation and privatized governance (the governance decisions made by corporations), as well as between citizenship as tied to both the internet and the nation-state. While digital rights are often grounded within a U.S. legal framework, the arguments made in their favor appeal to a more general sense of internet citizenship. This dissertation argues that the ways in which everyday people reconfigure law within their vernacular communities can affect legal norms and thus law itself.

Book Description
An argument for retaining the notion of personal property in the products we “buy” in the digital marketplace. If you buy a book at the bookstore, you own it. You can take it home, scribble in the margins, put in on the shelf, lend it to a friend, sell it at a garage sale. But is the same thing true for the ebooks or other digital goods you buy? Retailers and copyright holders argue that you don't own those purchases, you merely license them. That means your ebook vendor can delete the book from your device without warning or explanation—as Amazon deleted Orwell's 1984 from the Kindles of surprised readers several years ago. These readers thought they owned their copies of 1984. Until, it turned out, they didn't. In The End of Ownership, Aaron Perzanowski and Jason Schultz explore how notions of ownership have shifted in the digital marketplace, and make an argument for the benefits of personal property. Of course, ebooks, cloud storage, streaming, and other digital goods offer users convenience and flexibility. But, Perzanowski and Schultz warn, consumers should be aware of the tradeoffs involving user constraints, permanence, and privacy. The rights of private property are clear, but few people manage to read their end user agreements. Perzanowski and Schultz argue that introducing aspects of private property and ownership into the digital marketplace would offer both legal and economic benefits. But, most important, it would affirm our sense of self-direction and autonomy. If we own our purchases, we are free to make whatever lawful use of them we please. Technology need not constrain our freedom; it can also empower us.

Book Description
New technologies are changing the way that tax administrations, taxpayers and their advisers interact, leading to a reduction in the compliance cost for taxpayers, a level playing field for large and small businesses, and fewer opportunities to engage in aggressive tax practices. Although entering a new world where processes are supported by machines inevitably disrupts traditional ways of working, the contributors to this indispensable book reveal the enormous potential of ‘tax technology’ to positively transform tax compliance, clearly showing both government and business how to manage the transition from the old to the new. With detailed treatment of the technology available in the tax field, the authors describe how to secure its benefits in such ways as the following: electronic balance sheets and invoices; automated transmission to tax authorities; innovative analytics applications; blockchain in tax law processes; process mining in VAT; real-time reporting with cryptography; and meeting the challenges to taxpayers’ rights to privacy and personal data protection. The contributions draw on an international conference held under the auspices of the Digital Economy Taxation Network at the Vienna University of Economics and Business in December 2020. The perspective throughout focuses on how to achieve better tax compliance at a lower cost. For this reason, this full-scale, practical guide on how to adapt tax law to new technologies and how to apply tax tech processes in practice will be welcomed by tax practitioners, tax administrations, and academics across the entire tax community.

Book Description
Crime and Punishment in the Future Internet is an examination of the development and impact of digital frontier technologies (DFTs) such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of things, autonomous mobile robots, and blockchain on offending, crime control, the criminal justice system, and the discipline of criminology. It poses criminological, legal, ethical, and policy questions linked to such development and anticipates the impact of DFTs on crime and offending. It forestalls their wide-ranging consequences, including the proliferation of new types of vulnerability, policing and other mechanisms of social control, and the threat of pervasive and intrusive surveillance. Two key concerns lie at the heart of this volume. First, the book investigates the origins and development of emerging DFTs and their interactions with criminal behaviour, crime prevention, victimisation, and crime control. It also investigates the future advances and likely impact of such processes on a range of social actors: citizens, non-citizens, offenders, victims of crime, judiciary and law enforcement, media, NGOs. This book does not adopt technological determinism that suggests technology alone drives social development. Yet, while it is impossible to know where the emerging technologies are taking us, there is no doubt that DFTs will shape the way we engage with and experience criminal behaviour in the twenty-first century. As such, this book starts the conversation about a range of essential topics that this expansion brings to social sciences, and begins to decipher challenges we will be facing in the future. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to those engaged with criminology, sociology, politics, policymaking, and all those interested in the impact of DFTs on the criminal justice system.
