Richard Stallman just passed this along to me. I won't be around, since I'll be in New York for LinuxWorld, but someone else might want to organize a group of freedom-loving people to go and hand out some anti-DMCA flyers, ask good questions, and so on. "How can you enforce laws that ban Academic Freedom in computer science and then walk into a university and ask for help?" Remember, protests and demonstrations are GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/20021223/hl_nm/protests_demonstrations_dc COMPUTER SYSTEMS LABORATORY COLLOQUIUM 4:15PM, Wednesday, Jan 22, 2003 NEC Auditorium, Gates Computer Science Building B03 http://ee380.stanford.edu[1] Topic: Solving High Technology Crime Academic Partnership in Crime Fighting Speaker: Gregory S. Crabb United States Postal Inspector San Francisco Electronic Crimes Task Force Other participants include: Robert Rodriguez, Assistant Special Agent in Charge, United States Secret Service Richard Perlotto, Cisco Systems Chris Lalone, Network Security, eBay Mike Miravalle, CEO, Dolphin Technologies Fred Demma, Dolphon Technologyies About the talk: The San Francisco Electronic Crimes Task Force seeks to engage the academic community to help us address the technology crimes affecting our community, our corporate partners and law enforcement. The crimes affecting our corporate partners include computer hacking, intellectual property crimes (criminal trademark and copyright infringement) and identity theft. These crimes are costing the high technology community billions of dollars and stunting the acceptance and growth of these technologies to support our economy. Antiquated investigative methods and poor individual accountability for Internet communications are some of the greatest challenges facing law enforcement. The solution to some of these challenges may lie within the academic community. The talk will focus on several brief case studies relating our greatest challenges in fighting high technology crime. Each case study will be presented by a law enforcement agent and/or corporate partner of the task force. About the speaker: The San Francisco Electronic Crimes Task Force is a group of Federal, state, local investigators and corporate partners, lead by the U.S. Secret Service, focused on attacking high technology crime affecting Bay Area companies, locally and globally. The task force is part of the Secret Service's nation-wide network of electronic crimes task forces, see http://www.ectaskforce.org[2].
