| 11:30 am | Rooting Out Online Copyright Pirates with COICA: Will It Work? Download Audio A focused discussion on measures specifically dealing with online copyright infringement through legislation, most notably Senator Leahy's "Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act." Included will be an educational background on what law enforcement measures exist and how they are invoked legally and technically. These measures include seizing and removing domain names from the Internet's directories, instructing ISPs to block certain Web addresses from their users, prohibiting advertisers from displaying ads related to these offshore miscreants, and stopping credit card companies from processing their transactions. The discussion will also include the policy implications of such measures and the unintended consequences. - Daniel Castro, Sr. Analyst, The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation [bio]- Dan Kaminsky, Chief Scientist, Doxpara [bio] - Andrew Pincus, Partner, Mayer Brown LLP [bio] - Greg Piper, (moderator) Correspondent, Warren Communications [bio] - David Sohn, Sr. Policy Counsel and Intellectual Property & Technology Project Director, Center for Democracy & Technology [bio] |
