Title: Examining the Legal Status of Digital Assets as Property: A Comparative Analysis of Jurisdictional Approaches
Authors: Luke Lee,
Abstract summary: This paper examines the complex legal landscape surrounding digital assets, analysing how they are defined and regulated as property across various jurisdictions. As digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) increasingly integrate with global economies, their intangible nature presents unique challenges to traditional property law concepts. This research presents a comparative analysis, reviewing how different legal systems classify and manage digital assets within property law.

Abstract: This paper examines the complex legal landscape surrounding digital assets, analysing how they are defined and regulated as property across various jurisdictions. As digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) increasingly integrate with global economies, their intangible nature presents unique challenges to traditional property law concepts, necessitating a re-evaluation of legal definitions and ownership frameworks. This research presents a comparative analysis, reviewing how different legal systems classify and manage digital assets within property law, highlighting the variations in regulatory approaches and their implications on ownership, transfer, and inheritance rights. By examining seminal cases and regulatory developments in major jurisdictions, including the United States, the European Union, and Singapore, this paper explores the emerging trends and potential legal evolutions that could influence the global handling of digital assets. The study aims to contribute to the scholarly discourse by proposing a harmonized approach to digital asset regulation, seeking to balance innovation with legal certainty and consumer protection.

Evaluating Copyright Takedown Methods for Language Models [100.38129820325497]
Language models (LMs) derive their capabilities from extensive training on diverse data, including potentially copyrighted material. This paper introduces the first evaluation of the feasibility and side effects of copyright takedowns for LMs. We examine several strategies, including adding system prompts, decoding-time filtering interventions, and unlearning approaches.

MUSER: A Multi-View Similar Case Retrieval Dataset [65.36779942237357]
Similar case retrieval (SCR) is a representative legal AI application that plays a pivotal role in promoting judicial fairness. Existing SCR datasets only focus on the fact description section when judging the similarity between cases. We present M, a similar case retrieval dataset based on multi-view similarity measurement and comprehensive legal element with sentence-level legal element annotations.

Equality before the Law: Legal Judgment Consistency Analysis for Fairness [55.91612739713396]
In this paper, we propose an evaluation metric for judgment inconsistency, Legal Inconsistency Coefficient (LInCo) We simulate judges from different groups with legal judgment prediction (LJP) models and measure the judicial inconsistency with the disagreement of the judgment results given by LJP models trained on different groups. We employ LInCo to explore the inconsistency in real cases and come to the following observations: (1) Both regional and gender inconsistency exist in the legal system, but gender inconsistency is much less than regional inconsistency.

Measuring Law Over Time: A Network Analytical Framework with an Application to Statutes and Regulations in the United States and Germany [2.446672595462589]
We present a comprehensive framework for analyzing legal documents as multi-dimensional, dynamic document networks. We demonstrate the utility of this framework by applying it to an original dataset of statutes and regulations from two different countries. We find that at the federal level, the United States legal system is increasingly dominated by regulations, whereas the German legal system remains governed by statutes.
