The difficulties I face, as a legal academic, to deal with large amounts of empirical data. Trying to map and assess the breadth, depth and quality of legal services offering access to copyrighted content, such a music, films, books, video games. Collecting, presenting and making sense of large amount of data across several jurisdictions.

1. The project
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
1. The project
• Mapping the legal offer for digital content
- How to access copyrighted digital content legally in the EU
- The idea: is the level of piracy function of the quality of the legal offer in any given jurisdiction?
- Comparative analysis between countries
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
1. The project
• Challenges in terms of scope
- Subject matter is very large (covers music, movies, books, video games…)
- Many delivery systems and payment options (download, streaming, free, subscription on desktops, tablets, phones, consoles…)
- Starting point: the UK and France and then the whole of the 27 EU members
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
1. The project
• Challenges in terms of methodology
- Finding the information
- Collecting the information
- Presenting the information
- Analysing the information
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
1. The project
• An example of my work or of the challenges
- Access to music
- 60+ services in the UK alone
- Many of main services are available in many jurisdictions

The database systems I am aware (and wary) of

3. How I started
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
a) Text in Word
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
b) Table in Word
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
b) Table in Word
• Advantages
- Familiar / Easy to set up
- Footnotes; Footnotes with Zotero
- Comments appear where they should
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
b) Table in Word
• Drawbacks
- Lack of flexibility (hard to add new columns/rows/ cell)
- Not adapted for big data sets (what happens when you go to the next page; scrolling down forever)
- Many footnotes eat up the page
- Not many functionalities (not much you can do with the data when it is in)
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
4. What I am doing now: Excel

4.What I am doing now: Excel
• Drawbacks
- How to do footnotes?
- How to make it look as nice as on Word?
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
4.What I am doing now: Excel
• Advantages
- Flexibility
- Autofill
- Handle much more data
- Much more functionalities I do not know about (relational data, presentation-wise….)
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
5. Should I go to the next level and create a relational database?
Nicolas Jondet - 13 June 2013
5. Relational database?
• Potential Benefits
- Do a searchable database with filters (by jurisdiction, type of content, payment options, compatible device and formats…)
- Visualisation / Infographics (PDF, HTML….) offline and online
- Understanding Big data?
- Examples of what I want to do

5. Relational database?
• Is it worth the effort?
- Time / Benefit
- Stick to Excel / switch to Access – SQL
- Sharing data between Excel and Access
- How to reference sources in a publishing compatible way, ie as good or better than footnotes, in Excel or Access?
