This document discusses several legal issues related to big data, including intellectual property rights, contract law and licensing, privacy and data protection, due process, liability, and jurisdictional problems. It notes that big data raises issues around rights clearing for copyrighted data, outdated exemptions, legal fragmentation across jurisdictions, enforceability of clickwrap licenses, definitions of personal data, ensuring transparency and auditing of decision-making logic, assigning liability in converged cloud services, and managing multiple applicable laws across jurisdictions. The document argues that harmonization of laws may help address some of the jurisdictional problems with applying legal frameworks to large-scale, multi-jurisdictional uses of big data.
