Legal Aspects of Cloud Computing

The lecture from 2 p.m. – 2.30 p.m. provides a brief overview which points are to be considered from a legal perspective in the design and arrangement of Cloud Computing Services. The center of attention will be the consideration of legal relations of the participants, the contract typological classification of various services and their impact on the contract design, especially by the terms and conditions. In addition, the data protection issues will be responded to, which arise in the outsourcing of business processes in connection with the virtualization of server farms.

Social networking has wind in its back

At 2.30 p.m. Herr Dr Wagner is going to talk about the identification of the German copyright law in the social networks.

Many providers of social networks despair of the German copyright law, which has been proven an innovation drag-shoe or rather a warning entrapment due to its principle of specification. Now, the operators of social networks obtain unexpected support from Karlsruhe. The Federal Court of Justice has circumnavigated the strictly copyrighted material to not have to prohibit the service, in a decision about Google image search in a pleasing pragmatic way. The contribution shall show the resulting design possibilities of social networks with special emphasis on shopping portals such as svpply.com or pinterest.
