‘This is an important contribution to understanding the most important policy objective of the European Union: the growth of a safe and secure, trustworthy, and legally accountable framework for transactional e-Commerce, that respects not only fundamental rights but the private rights of stakeholders. An excellent range of contributors offers chapters, not only about the ex-ante rules and protections available for consumers, rightsholders, and the supply of digital content but the range of ex-post remedies and enforcement mechanisms available in the EU.''
