β¦ Synopsis
Producers and Consumers in EU E-Commerce Law argues that the European Union is failing adequately to protect consumersβ critical interests in the area of e-commerce. The book compares the Unionβs close protection of producersβ critical interests in e-commerce, considered in terms of authorship and of βdomain-identityβ, with its faltering steps towards protection of consumersβ corresponding interests, considered in terms of fair trading, privacy and (on behalf of children) morality. The book assesses the threats posed to those interests, the extent to which self-help can and does neutralise those threats and, as regards any gaps left, the extent to which the Union has stepped into the breach. The argument is important given that surveys show low levels of consumer confidence in European cross-border e-commerce, a motor of integration par excellence.
