CIF Legal Update Issue 7 2017

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

• DEXEU position papers and more Brexit controversy
• Digital Economy Act commencement regulations
• High Court grants FA Premier League further injunction to block streaming websites
• French court rules on cost of blocking injunctions
• Consultation on Government’s plans to implement the Security of Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS Directive)
• Broadband Universal Service Obligation: consultation on design

Please see my monthly book recommendation – Blockchain Basics: A Non-Technical Introduction in 25 Steps by Daniel Drescher. Sold as a book to bridge the gap between purely technical books about the blockchain and purely business-focused books, it proved an excellent guide to the basic of blockchain. Drescher takes the reader through a series of topics, including the major components of blockchain and how they work and interact.
