Current legislative initiatives at national and international levels seek, in effect, to protect against circumvention of the technologies content owners may use to protect their works. While some regulation of circumvention technologies may be appropriate, this talk will discuss why current proposals are deficient, chiefly because they are too ill-defined in their coverage and because they ignore some of the deeper policy questions that these technologies raise, such as the effect of the technologies on privacy and free expression values. Biographical sketch: Pamela Samuelson is a Professor at the University of California at Berkeley where she holds a joint appointment in the School of Information Management and Systems and in the School of Law. She has written and spoken extensively about the challenges that digital technologies pose for intellectual property law. She is, among other things, a Contributing Editor of Communications of the ACM and a Fellow of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Meetings with faculty and students: Prof. Samuelson will be our guest at faculty lunch on November 5. She will also be available to meet with faculty or students, individually or in groups, from 1:30 until 3:30. Interested parties should email their requests to Joyce Chandler (chandler@cs), who will be arranging her schedule. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | This message was sent via the Stanford Computer Science Department | | colloquium mailing list.
