The Editorial Board of SCRIPT-ed – A Journal of Law, Technology & Society is pleased to present its 16th issue, which addresses a wide
range of issues emergent from advances in technology, including net neutrality, data protection, free access to legal research, and the
precautionary principle. Additionally, there are pieces on technology-driven alienation and a further contribution to the Taylor-Adams dialogue begun in earlier issues.

SCRIPT-ed is also proud to announce that starting with this issue, all articles will be published under a CC licence by default.
