CIPIL Intellectual Property Seminar: 'Regulating Code: Good Governance and Better Regulation in the Information Age'

Speakers: Professor Christopher Marsden and Dr Ian Brown

Room B16, Faculty of Law

Internet use has become ubiquitous in the past two decades, but governments, legislators, and their regulatory agencies have struggled to keep up with the rapidly changing Internet technologies and uses. In this presentation, based on their recent book of the same title, regulatory lawyer Christopher Marsden and computer scientist Ian Brown analyze the regulatory shaping of ‘code’ – the technological environment of the Internet – to achieve more economically efficient and socially just regulation.

Christopher T. Marsden is Professor of Law at the University of Sussex. He is the author of Net Neutrality: Towards a Co-Regulatory Solution, Internet Co-Regulation, and three other books.

Ian Brown is Senior Research Fellow at Oxford University’s Oxford Internet Institute. He is the editor of the Research Handbook on Governance of the Internet.
