About
Zoe Carpou is a legal scholar whose work sits at the intersection of intellectual property, digital rights, and the evolving dynamics of online enforcement. Her research critically examines how automated systems reshape copyright law, particularly through the lens of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). In her most-cited paper, “Robots, Pirates, and the Rise of the Automated Takedown Regime,” Carpou vividly frames the internet as a battleground where automated bots and human pirates clash, arguing that this robotic enforcement often harms legitimate end-users while failing to curb piracy. With 7 citations, this work has been recognized for its prescient analysis of algorithmic governance in copyright—a topic that has only grown more urgent. Carpou’s contributions lie in exposing the unintended consequences of automated takedowns, advocating for a more balanced approach that protects both creators and users. Her scholarship is essential reading for anyone interested in how technology is rewriting the rules of intellectual property, offering a compelling critique of the “robots vs. pirates” narrative that dominates modern copyright debates.
