PLI Press is proud to announce the publication of the new edition of Internet of Things and the Law.
This book is a starting point for those seeking a deeper understanding of the IoT’s role within the law. After providing a detailed explanation of the IoT and examining its current regulatory framework, the book discusses the current and potential impact of the IoT on privacy, security, contracts, IP, consumer protection litigation, civil discovery, and criminal law and procedure. The book concludes with a chapter on international approaches to the regulation of IoT.
Some of the recent developments reflected in this new edition include:
- IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020: Discussion of one of the few laws enacted thus far directly aimed at regulating the IoT (see section 2:2.10).
- New Oregon IoT security law: Analysis of the language of Oregon’s IoT security law, specifically as it relates to what constitutes “reasonable security features” (see section 4:4.4[C][3]).
- Right to Repair legislation: A new section considers the passage by thirty-four states of “right to repair” legislation. It describes what the legislation requires manufacturers to do and lists the scope of consumer protection it provides (see section 6:3.1[B]).
- Fourth Amendment rights: Added commentary highlights the Ninth Circuit’s recent holding on whether the government’s data preservation request violates the Fourth Amendment (see section 9:4.4).
- Global privacy and security: Updates on recent developments in Japan, Brazil, Canada, and the European Union, including reporting that courts in Austria, France, and Italy have recently ruled on whether the use of Google Analytics is legal and illuminating what those rulings will mean for Google going forward (see section 10:2.2).
