Abstract

Since the storage and delivery services are migrating to the cloud which is expected to reach over $678.8 billion by 2027, the cloud-computing industry has emerged with intricate legal issues of enforcing copyright. In this chapter focal point is the issues of infringement in the cloud systems whereby it gives an insight to the liability of the providers in the light of the U.S. Copyright Act as well as the recent court ruling and preceding global regulations. It talks about the influence of cloud models such as SaaS, PaaS and IaaS on the distribution and reproduction of copyrighted materials. It also examines the existing weaknesses of the laws available to deal with cross-border platforms particularly with regards to intermediary liability and DMCA safe harbor provisions. Difficulties in enforcement are illustrated in Dropbox, Google drive, and Mega case studies. The chapter ends with the observations that there are gaps in the law and need to create new policies and technologies such as better DRM and content recognition that will enhance the protection of copyright in the cloud.
