WHAT: “Will Free Expression Survive the Digital Media Revolution?”

EFF attorneys will tackle thorny issues during this interactive discussion, such as the impact on science and research from the DMCA’s broad ban on technical information, its effect on encryption and computer security, Constitutional challenges in court and possible legislative actions, international concerns, and the role of fair use in the digital age.
