La disciplina giuridica delle piattaforme online per la ristorazione
2022

A coherent regulatory framework of these platforms is proposed, considering the P2B and B2C relationships involved in their activities, with a focus on the protection of food choices and personal data entered by users.

Cloud Computing e protezione dei dati nel web 3.0
2014
Il cloud computing è un ritrovato deputato all'archiviazione, elaborazione e uso di dati su computer remoti, grazie al quale gli utenti hanno a disposizione una potenza di elaborazione quasi illimitata, non sono tenuti ad investire grandi capitali per soddisfare le proprie esigenze e possono accedere ai loro dati ovunque sia disponibile una connessione Internet. Il presente scritto si propone di contribuire ad una migliore comprensione della nuova tecnologia e alla ricostruzione dell'attuale (invero scarno) quadro giuridico, ciò che può aiutare a superare i principali problemi posti dalla nuvola al diritto dei privati e riconducibili, primariamente, alla protezione dei dati, al diritto dei …
Hart’s blind spot. The missing piece in The Concept of Law
2014
Al inicio de El Concepto de Derecho, Hart sugiere una asimilación errónea entre conducta que es «no opcional» y conducta que es «obligatoria» (i. e. conducta que o es forzada o sometida a una obligación). Esta asimilación vicia el argumento del libro en su conjunto, llevándole a Hart a descuidar las diferentes vías en las que el derecho monitorea, corrobora o constituye relaciones de poder. Es cierto y evidente que en The Concept of Law la atención se dedica a los poderes normativos, legales. Sin embargo, el poder social bruto, y las relaciones del derecho con él —el papel del derecho como una pieza en la maquinaria de los poderes sociales— están ampliamente ignorados. Éste es, de alguna ma…
Copyright issues on social media
2021
The purpose of the thesis is to determine how social media portals treat their users' copyright, and whether such actions are compliant with the national and EU law. In order to conduct this research, Terms of Service of four popular social media – Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter, were reviewed.

The author concludes that such licensing is not compliant with the national law and therefore Terms of Service copyright …
Software source code escrow agreement and legal obstacles of its execution
2020
Software source code escrow agreement is a relatively new occurrence, emerged together with the rise of software industry in 1970’s in the U.S. Taking into account the fact that business relationships between the software licensor and the licensee are mostly permanent, i.e. significant part is not only the license agreement, but also maintenance and support service duties assumed by the licensor, it is important that business continuity of the licensee is ensured. Software source code escrow agreement aims to provide this assurance by promise, that if the licensor ceases to exist (becomes insolvent), then the source code – building instruction of the software, will be turned over to the lic…

Permanent establishment in corporate taxation in the digital era
2020
Digital economy has significantly grew in the past 15 years, and currently it already accounts for more than 50 percent of the whole market capitalization worldwide.

Thus, resulting in harmful use of permanent establishment principle for tax planning purposes, which has led to profit shifting away from the high-tax jurisdiction to low-tax juri…
Digital age and corporate taxation. European Union on the way to create a unilateral digital taxation regime
2019
The digitalization of the economy has rapidly changed the outlook of the business models today. It is no longer necessary for an entity to be located within a country to generate enormous amounts of revenues deriving from it. At the same time, the corporate taxation principles have not changed in order to adopt to this situation- when establishing the place of taxation they do not take into the consideration where the consumers are located. Thereby, an unfair treatment towards Member States has been created as today large revenues for big tech companies can be created within their territory without having a burden to pay a tax. Answering to the global discussion the European Commission has …
