Internet players and users are faced with major challenges including net neutrality, safeguarding individual freedoms within the scope of Web 2.0 development, cybersquatting, cybercrime and protecting copyright, as well as ensuring that rightsholders are remunerated.

Some of these issues require specific solutions, such as rules on liability for Internet service providers and hosts. Consequently, the European Union has adopted two regulations to set the rules for the Internet: the Digital Markets Act (DMA) which targets the main platforms (gatekeepers) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) which lays down rules applicable to all online players.

Furthermore, the unique characteristics of the Internet do not exempt online players from adhering to general regulations governing their activities, such as those related to communication initiatives or e-commerce operations, including data protection, intellectual property law, trademark law, etc.

Magenta is well placed to support clients with all Internet-related issues, providing both advisory and litigation services:

  • Net neutrality and traffic prioritisation practices.
  • Applying the DSA and DMA.
  • Managing liability levels for major online players.
  • Articulating between rolling out e-commerce websites and joining “structured” distribution networks.
  • Creating and publishing websites (drafting terms of use, privacy policies, personal data protection policies and acquiring rights from contributors).
  • Assisting in setting up e-commerce operations (online payments, concluding contracts, electronic signatures, etc.).
