Content of the Course

The process of digitization makes it possible to disseminate intellectual content in words, images and sounds via different networks and to receive it by means of different technical devices. The technical innovations have also influenced the legal framework of media activities at the national, European and international levels, with media law not being a single area of law but a cross-cutting issue involving public law, private law and criminal law. This eGS event will give participants an introductory overview of the legally relevant topics that can be crucial in the use of digital media, such as copyright law, press and personality law, broadcasting law, Internet and domain law, software law, IT contract law, data protection law, IT intellectual property law and competition law. With concrete examples from current case law, versatile conclusions can be drawn for the safe handling of digital media.

Acquisition of Competences

You will learn about the relevant laws as well as case law in the field of digital media and their relevance for practice. The aim of the event is to provide an interdisciplinary perspective on legislation and case law in digital media.

Exam Information
