Digital Rights Management Symposium

I heard that Cindy Cohn from EFF, Annalee Newitz, and Tyler Ochoa from Santa Clara are speaking. I'm working on confirmation.

I guess there's some sort of technological measure effectively preventing access to the details.

I have details! From a real live flyer swiped from a real live Hastings student!

There will be two panels. The first panel will discuss the DMCA and recent case law interpreting the anti-circumvention provisions. The second panel will focus on policy issues and the impact of the current state of the law oin artists, programmers, and content distributors. Free MCLE credits to practitioners.

Panel 1:
James Nguyen, Foley & Lardner
Cindy Cohn, EFF
Margreth Barrett, Hastings
Tyler Ochoa, Santa Clara

Panel 2:
Russell Weiss, MoFo
Michael Ashburne, Cal. Lawyers for the Arts
