About
Miquel Peguera is a leading scholar in internet law, with a primary focus on copyright, search engine liability, and digital platform regulation. His research critically examines the legal frameworks governing online intermediaries, particularly how copyright laws like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) apply to search engine operations. In his influential paper "When the Cached Link is the Weakest Link: Search Engine Caches under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act" (2008, 5 citations), Peguera analyzed the legal vulnerabilities of search engine caching practices, arguing that cached links create unique copyright exposure distinct from standard linking. This work has been foundational for understanding the intersection of automated web crawling and intellectual property law. Beyond this, Peguera has contributed extensively to debates on intermediary liability, content moderation, and the evolving responsibilities of platforms under European Union digital legislation. His scholarship is widely cited by legal scholars and policymakers shaping internet governance. Peguera’s work remains essential reading for anyone studying how copyright law adapts to the technical realities of search engines and the broader digital ecosystem.
