will speak about:
The State of the Copyfight
If law's titles are to be believed, we're a decade into the "Digital
Millennium." That's meant 10 years in which weak encryption has barred
the hacking of copyright's "technical protection measures," in which
ISPs have responded to takedown notices claiming copyright infringement,
even where the use of copyrighted material was fair, but also a decade
of remixing and technologically fueled creativity. We'll examine the
state of the copyfight, through Chilling Effects, RIAA lawsuits, effects
on technical innovation, and prospects for copyright reform and
activism.
