Does the Digital Millennium Copyright Act violate the First
Amendment and the academic-freedom rights of scholars?
A key subject for us all is addressed in the latest open forum provided by
the Chronicle. Below is the opening question. It is framed by an article by
Andrea L. Foster: "2 Scholars Face Off in Copyright Clash: Should we
protect intellectual property by limiting the discussion of decryption
research?" http://chronicle.com/free/v47/i48/48a04501.htm

===========
"Tne provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which was designed
to update copyright law to encourage electronic commerce, makes it a crime
to bypass an encryption device that limits access to copyrighted material,
or to distribute decryption technology. Many computer-science professors,
especially those who work on encryption issues, believe the provision is
being used or could be used to limit their research and their ability to
discuss their research with other scholars. They are calling for courts to
throw out the law as unconstitutional. Some other scholars, however, say
that the law is a necessary way to protect copyright in the digital age.
Does the Digital Millennium Copyright Act violate the First Amendment and
the academic-freedom rights of scholars?"

Join us November 5-7 in Washington, DC for E-Book 2001!
If you're wondering how to incorporate E-Book technology into your life, your work, or your organization, you'll find much to think about at the 4th Electronic Book Conference. Sponsored by NISO (http://www.niso.org) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, E-Book 2001 brings together the key players in the E-Book world: the technology experts (hardware, software, DRM), the content providers (publishers and aggregators, authors and agents), and the users (educators, librarians, readers) to examine how this new technology can change the way we think about books. Conference exhibits will feature the top companies supporting E-book technologies.
This is a conference that will expand your boundaries.
Check out the conference web site to learn more about the program and to register: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div895/ebook2001/
