Rebecca Giblin is a Lecturer at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Her primary research focus is in the fields of copyright law and technology regulation. Her especial expertise is in the area of secondary liability for copyright infringement, particularly with regard to the Australian, US, UK and Canadian jurisdictions.
     As well as a first class honours degree in law, Rebecca holds a PhD in copyright law. Entitled "The Code/Law Collision", her doctoral thesis considered the secondary liability of P2P software providers for the infringements of their users. One of the main arguments raised by the work was that such providers exploit under-recognised differences between physical and virtual paradigms to effectively code their way out of liability under US law. The work went on to explore why this tactic is unlikely to succeed in the Australian copyright context.
     Having previously worked as an information technology consultant, Rebecca is also keenly interested in other legal fields which affect the regulation of computing, the internet and other emerging technologies.
