Abstract
Information technology law (or IT Law) is a new field that was practically unknown just a few decades ago. It goes back, however, to an era before the personal computer entered into mainstream markets. It was not until the mid-1990s and the rise of the Internet that the union of the fields of IT and Law into a unique system became more necessary.

In response to technological changes, the European Commission concluded the following: “(i) it is not (yet) clear how the sui generis right interacts; (ii) it could be advisable to clarify the notion of database maker; (iii) as far as possible, clarify the notions of substantial investment and substantial part including the notion of recorded and of created data ; (iv) introduce a text and data mining exception; (v) as with European Commission ’s own conclusion to the Digital Economy Package, it is advisable to wait before proceeding to a legislative intervention in this respect.” See also, Vollmer Database Directive Study: Options for Neutralising the Sui Generis Right , [online].

An “end-user” is any natural or juridical person (i.e., one individual or a company) using a service deployed on a cloud. An end-user can also be a service software owner that has deployed the service on a given cloud, however, this is not the interpretation adopted in this book.

Property rights can be categorized in different ways, most of which fall outside the scope of this book. Generally, this term can be broken down in two main areas: (i) corporeal: covering items which relate to an object, a thing. Something tangible that is a physical good, i.e., a car, a computer; (ii) incorporeal: covering items which are not visible to the human eye. Something virtual and intangible by nature, i.e., data or information. See Robson and McCowan (1998, p. 15), Corrales Compagnucci et al. (2010, pp. 293–294), Elkin-Koren and Salzberger (2013, p. 44).
