The legal domain distinguishes between different types of data and attaches a different level of protection to each of them. Thus, non-personal data are left largely unregulated, while privacy and data protection rules apply to personal data or personal information. There are stricter rules for processing sensitive personal data than for 'ordinary' personal data, and metadata or communications data are regulated differently than content communications data. Technological developments challenge these legal categorisations on at least three fronts: First, the lines between the categories are becoming harder to draw and more fluid. Second, working with various categories of data works well when the category a datum or dataset falls into is relatively stable. However, this is less and less so. Third, scholars increasingly question the rationale behind the various legal categorisations. This book assesses to what extent either of these strategies is feasible and to what extent alternative approaches could be developed by combining insights from three fields: technology, practice and law.

In the early modern period, both legal and illegal maritime predation was a common occurrence, but the expansion of European maritime empires exacerbated existing and created new problems of piracy across the globe. This collection of original case studies addresses these early modern problems in three sections: first, states' attempts to exercise jurisdiction over seafarers and their actions; second, the multiple predatory marine practices considered 'piracy'; and finally, the many representations made about piracy by states or the seafarers themselves. Across nine chapters covering regions including southeast Asia, the Atlantic archipelago, the North African states, and the Caribbean Sea, the complexities of defining and criminalizing maritime predation is explored, raising questions surrounding subjecthood, interpolity law, and the impacts of colonization on the legal and social construction of ocean, port, and coastal spaces. Seeking the meanings and motivations behind piracy, this book reveals that while European states attempted to fashion piracy into a global and homogenous phenomenon, it was largely a local and often idiosyncratic issue.

Dieser Band untersucht Simon Dennys Metaverse Landscapes, seine Gemäldeserie, die Grundstücke in digitalen Welten darstellen. Sie enthüllen historische Resonanzen zwischen Territorium, Abstraktion und Finanzialisierung - in einer neuen Art von Landschaftsmalerei.Landscapes vereint detaillierte Reproduktionen der Gemälde, Ausstellungsdokumentationen aus dem Kunstverein Hannover und dem Frans Masereel Centrum (Belgien) sowie Kommentare prominenter Autoren wie Christina Barton, Adina Glickstein, Martin Herbert, Omar Kholeif und Fred Turner."Even as they depict various kinds of digital real estate in naturalistic detail, Denny's paintings revel in the ways that digital technologies dissolve the material world into bits and bytes." Fred Turner "It's almost as if the virtual is coming to attack me somehow or coming to inform me that I am not paying attention." Omar Kholeif"Denny exploits the tension between material objects and abstract signs, actual and depicted spaces, imagined worlds and real places, to show us the illusion, the promise, the dream, and then to bring it down to earth, render it crude and transient." Christina Barton
