The volume is devoted to the relevant problems in the legal sphere, created and generated by recent advances in science and technology. In particular, it investigates a series of cutting-edge contemporary and controversial case-studies where scientific and technological issues intersect with individual legal rights. The book addresses challenging topics at the intersection of communication technologies and biotech innovations such as freedom of expression, right to health, knowledge production, Internet content regulation, accessibility and freedom of scientific research.
The book provides a comparative and comprehensive analysis of the current technical, commercial and economical development in digital media describing the impact of new business and distribution models, the current legal and regulatory framework, social practices and consumer expectations associated with the use, distribution, and control of digital media products. In particular the author analyze the anti-circumvention provisions for technological protection measures and digital rights management systems enacted in the United States and in Europe.
This book constitutes the refereed proceeding of the 6th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages, COORDINATION 2004, held in Pisa, Italy in February 2004. The 20 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. Among the topics addressed are context-aware coordination, the Linda coordination model, component adaptation, aspect-oriented programming, coordination middleware, peer-to-peer systems, coordination languages, network coordination, logic based coordination, agent coordination, as well as several coordination tools.

Biotechnology is a recognized research area that has increasingly advanced into new technologies and modern practices raising several legal, ethical and regulatory issues. The revolutionary speed of biotech innovations has had a significant impact on the protection of the rights of the individual. Fundamental rights provide a framework within which the justification of limitations and restrictions to biotechnology innovations and research results have to be assessed. The legal regulation of scientific research and scientific investigations impact more and more directly on the freedom of research and therapies as well as on the broad diffusion of knowledge. Closely related is also the debated question of the technological manipulation of life and the boundary of scientific knowledge with regard to the topical question of genetic invention patents and their side effects on access to scientific information and health care opportunities. Drawing on expertise from different disciplines, the volume comprises invited papers and plenary presentations given at the conference entitled “Biotech Innovations & Fundamental Rights” that took place on Januray 20-21 2011 at the Department of Juridical Sciences of the University of Ferrara. Each contribution covers a different aspect of the legal and scientific issues involved in regulation of biotechnology. In particular the focus of attention has been given to genetic research, genetic data, freedom of scientific research in genetics and biotech patents.
