Abstract

New technologies, and the digitization of works of intellect in particular, have led to an explosive expansion of transnational litigation, challenging the traditional premises of private international law. This Chapter considers the rules under which European and U.S. courts may assert jurisdiction over cases involving digital libraries: notably copyright claims, but also other IP rights. Initiatives to create a transnational set of rules or principles are also examined.
