The 12 revised full papers presented together with three keynotes were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Information Management in a Changing World, IMCW 2013, held in Limerick, Ireland, in September 2013. The analysis will yield the insight that the most effective protection of copyright in the cloud is likely to result from acceptance of a compromise solution that, instead of insisting on the power to prohibit unauthorized use, leaves room for the interests of users and the business models of platform providers (concluding section 4). Which limitations of protection can serve as a basis for the development of new business models? Which safe harbours may be invoked to avoid secondary liability for copyright infringement? Which obligations may result from injunctions sought by copyright owners? After outlining relevant cloud services (section 1) and identifying the competing interests involved (section 2), the inquiry will address these influence factors – limitations, safe harbours and injunctions (section 3). As providers of cloud-based services may seek to avoid dependence on creative industries and collecting societies, one of these questions concerns the breathing space that copyright law offers outside the realm of exclusive rights. The copyright issues raised by these platforms seem as numerous as the liquid droplets and frozen crystals constituting clouds in the atmosphere of our planet. They range from personal storage space for films and music to social media and user-generated content platforms.
Cloud-based services keep forming, changing and evaporating like clouds in the sky.
