CIF Legal Update Issue 4 2017

Every month as a trusted contact I bring you my slant on the latest Legislation, Case Law and Consultations. In this edition, these are:

• Guarding against ransomware
• The Digital Economy Act 2017
• The Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Bill receives Royal Assent
• Political Party Manifestos
• The Filmspeler case
• The European Commission mid-term review on the implementation of the Digital Single Market Strategy

Please see my monthly book recommendation – Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel. Thiel is an American businessman, PayPal cofounder and Facebook’s first professional investor, meaning that he now has a net worth of over $2 billion.
