Synopsis
Using a multi-disciplinary and comparative approach, this study examines emerging and innovative attempts to tackle privacy and legal issues in cloud computing such as personal data privacy, security and intellectual property protection.
An international team of legal scholars, computer science researchers, regulators and practitioners present original and critical responses to the growing challenges posed by cloud computing. They analyze the specific legal implications pertaining to jurisdiction, biomedical practice and information ownership, as well as issues of regulatory control, competition and cross-border regulation.
Law academics, practitioners and regulators will find this book to be a valuable, practical and accessible resource, as will computer science scholars interested in cloud computing issues.

What Reviewers Are Saying
COMPULSORY FOR ALL WEB USERS TO READ AS THEY TAKE A NEW WALK IN THE CLOUDS
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
Professors Cheung and Weber examine, with a team of contributors, what they term ‘emerging and innovative attempts’ to tackle privacy and the developing legal issues in cloud computing including such issues of the moment as personal data privacy, intellectual property protection and security.
The importance of this subject today cannot be underestimated because, as Michael A Geist from the University of Ottawa explains, “cloud computing provides the foundation for the myriad of network services that millions of internet users rely upon every day.”
The editors point out that the cloud allows us to access our documents, photos and video files from anywhere in the world (and actually space!). The book from Edward Elgar is part of the Elgar Law, Technology and Society series and is an edited volume with fifteen contributors. Its origins lie in the academic conference “Up in the Cloud: Legal and Privacy Challenges in Cloud Computing” which was held by the Faculty of Law of the university of Hong Kong in July 2013.
Academic lawyers are extremely lucky to have this new work on the complex legal and privacy challenges which have been brought about by the rapidly evolving cloud computing technology. To most of us it is a relatively new area of study and will be welcomed by a wide range of readers who are taking a new walk in the clouds.
The law is as stated in 2015.

'Experts from various countries have managed to create a handbook on the legal aspects of cloud computing, including problems of intellectual property laws, contractual issues, privacy and private international law. In addition, the book deals with the highly sensitive and controversial problems of biomedical and health data stored in and transferred via cloud systems. The chapters are comprehensive and written with a masterful hand by lawyers who are known throughout the world as leading information law experts.' --Thomas Hoeren, University of Muenster, Germany'Cloud computing provides the foundation for the myriad of network services that millions of Internet users rely upon every day. The cloud offers economic benefits to providers and convenience to users, but it also generates challenging new privacy and legal concerns that until now have been largely under-explored. Anne Cheung and Rolf Weber's exceptional book on cloud computing issues fills an important void, featuring a comprehensive, timely and engaging collection of works assessing the cloud from many legal perspectives. From privacy to copyright to jurisdiction, the book is a must-read for anyone exploring the intersection of law and cutting-edge technologies.' --Michael A. Geist, University of Ottawa, Canada
