This article looks at the more recent efforts to erode the principles of limitation of liability that have served as the cornerstone of Internet regulation for some years. We will briefly study existing legislation and then we will chart the latest efforts to see the attacks on these limits, particularly by the introduction of graduated response, and the case law that seeks other solutions, such as filtering and blocking. (This is an unedited version of the final book chapter)

This paper aims at promoting prospective Intellectual Property (IP) securitization as a feasible mode of financing creative industries demanding instant capital to operate, develop products and promote market expansion. The proposed approach is dedicated to accelerate new financial sources of support to strengthen and develop creativity and productivity in the creative industries. The current paper introduces a new legal institution which is not regulated yet under Indonesia's positive laws. It shows how creative companies might use the institution to gain direct and indirect benefits. It is acknowledged that this proposal may spark challenges at the doctrinal, normative and practical levels. At the doctrinal level, the potential for challenge refers to the philosophical issue related to exclusive rights doctrine. At the normative level, the challenges are caused by the absence of regulation concerning IP securitization in Indonesia influencing the validity and viability of IP securitization transactions. At the practical level, this proposal may not guarantee the certainty of IP valuation as a unique asset involving complex procedures, interdisciplinary laws, profesionals and so forth. In order to overcome the doctrinal challenge, this paper offers relevant principles which may function to balance the acceleration of IP securitization as a new financing mechanism for creativity and prevent unrestricted exploitation of IP exclusive rights. For addressing any normative and practical challenges, this work promotes the need for government involvement in developing and promoting IP securitization by providing economic and legal frameworks, started by enactment of IP securitization regulation and the establishment of infrastructures for IP securitization

This section is devoted to giving readers an inside view of the crossing point between intellectual property (IP) law and risk regulation. In addition to updating readers on the latest developments in IP law and policies in technological fields (including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, agriculture and foodstuffs), the section aims at verifying whether such laws and policies really stimulate scientific and technical progress and are capable of minimising the risks posed by on-going industrial developments to individuals' health and safety, inter alia.

Montenue, a distinct French scholar of intellectual property, has suggested that IP is a "tool which surprisingly helps a lot", and this definition on science, arts, culture, since the 16th century. Now, what would be the definition of intellectual property for the 21st century? Apparently not a "strange" tool, but a necessary tool, primary for enriching human knowledge, and for the new world order, especially in the global market sphere.Intellectual property is an integral part of international trade, and its importance keeps increasing, since effective use of knowledge is increasingly influencing the economic prosperity of peoples. One may say that there is little originality in the creative sphere. Naturally, this originality can only be reflected by individuality and human identity in intellectual creativityThe author rights in the Kosovo legislation is a novelty, a necessity of developing a creative environment in the fields of science, arts and industrial property. First and foremost, the individual benefit, which is secured by the author as the creator of the work, is a moral and material right. Secondly, there is a need for harmonization, not only of values for the creator, but also for the development of science, culture, increased competitive advantage, and the public sphere, as a benefit for the public health and security, and the fiscal policy. The deficiency one must record is with the Office for Copy Rights, which is to play a strong role in implementing and protecting copy rights and other related rights by licensing collective management agencies, imposing administrative fines, awareness raising, provision of information, and other capacity building and educative measures. Naturally, the enactment of good legislation is a system without any meaning or sense if not associated with the court practice. Any establishment of a legal system not pursued with enforcement mechanisms remains only in legal frameworks.
