Research Topic (with professor Niva Elkin-Koren)
The research focuses on the theoretical aspects of enforcement by algorithm, as they are reflected in copyright law. Computers programs are used today both to safeguard and to enforce the rights of copyright holders. In the digital realm, different algorithmic mechanisms were developed to execute the job that was once reserved solely to humans: they filter infringing material (i.e., the use of Content ID) and remove automatically allegedly infringing material (Notice & Takedown). This research will examine the theoretical aspects of this type of enforcement, focusing on how it interacts with the concepts of trust, private autonomy and transparency.
