The contents of this publication are based on a selection of papers presented at the first conference on information law, organized by the Institute for Information Law of the University of Amsterdam, in June 1991. The titles of the chapters correspond to the themes discussed at the conference. It focuses on three main themes of information law: access to the media market; public and private relationships in the information market; and intellectual property and information technology. The book also provides an overview of the key issues of information law such as advertising and product placement, telecommunications and broadcasting, privacy, rights to government controlled information, and exclusive rights in information and information technology.
