Research Handbook on the Law of Virtual and Augmented Reality
 |
| Anteprima |
Virtual
and augmented reality raise significant questions for law and policy.
When should virtual world activities or augmented reality images count
as protected First Amendment ‘speech’, and when are they instead a
nuisance or trespass? When does copying them infringe intellectual
property laws? When should a person (or computer) face legal
consequences for allegedly harmful virtual acts? The Research Handbook
on the Law of Virtual and Augmented Reality addresses these questions
and others, drawing upon free speech doctrine, criminal law, issues of
data protection and privacy, legal rights for increasingly intelligent
avatars, and issues of jurisdiction within virtual and augmented reality
worlds.
