"Patents: The Bleeding Edge of Technology Policy"
While patents have long been at the heart of American technology policy, information technology has profoundly challenged the U.S. patent system -- as seen in the intense inter-industry debate over patent reform in Congress. This panel will examine the politics of patent reform in the context of international controversy over patent policy, including a string of Supreme Court decisions, the battle over software and business method patents, and growing tensions between patents and IT standards.
New Haven, CT at the Omni Hotel
Chapel A&B (Room 100)

Copyright and Network Filtering
Organizations such as the RIAA have spurred Congress to pressure colleges and universities to adopt network filtering policies in order to address illegal P2P activities. Are such policies viable? What is Congress likely to do and what would such legislative action mean for IT in higher education?

Figuring Out the Law for Digital Media Distribution
Regarding digital music and media distribution, the law has not kept pace with the evolution of technology and business models. There is significant ambiguity in copyright law as it pertains to developing distribution models. As a result, attorneys focused in this area are incredibly challenged. This panel offers multiple perspectives from companies who struggle with this ambiguity, yet have created solutions to manage and protect the company as the rules continue to evolve. Specific highlights include:
- Analyzing the ambiguity in the law
- Assessing which rights need to be acquired, which are compulsory and which are protected under the DMCA or other safe harbors
- Dealing with the uncertainty relating to royalties and rights holders even after acknowledging that licenses are required
- Projecting the future of recorded music and legal implications
