Oxford University Cloud Computing Law, 2Nd Edition by CHRISTOPHER MILLARD
Cloud computing continues to expand dramatically and the 'as a Service' model is now both mainstream and ubiquitous.

This book delivers an accessible analysis of the key legal and regulatory issues that surround cloud computing. Topics covered include contracts for cloud services, information ownership and licensing,_x000D_privacy and data protection, standards and competition law, law enforcement access to data, and international tax models for cloud and other digital services. _x000D__x000D_The book is organised in four parts. Part I explains what cloud computing is, why it matters, and what non-technical readers need to know about how it works. Part II includes a detailed review of standard contracts for 40 cloud services and highlights key legal and commercial issues that arise in negotiated transactions for cloud services. Ownership of, and access to, 'digital assets' are also explored. Part III focusses on the application of data protection and cybersecurity rules, including_x000D_an in-depth assessment of the impact of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on providers and users of cloud services.
