[1] EPIC Testifies Before Congress on Anti-Privacy Bill
On September 24, EPIC Executive Director Marc Rotenberg testifiedbefore the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and ConsumerProtection
on the Consumer Privacy Protection Act, H.R. 4678. Thehearing was chaired by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL), the original sponsorof the
bill. In addition to Mr. Rotenberg, six industryrepresentatives testified about the bill.
The EPIC testimony noted that the bill favors industry over theconsumer and the invasion of privacy over the protection of privacy
inalmost every key provision. It would require companies to adoptprivacy policies; however, no restrictions are placed on what thepolicies
can say, and the policies could be substantively changed atany time. The bill also allows sale of personal data to third partiesas
long as a benefit is offered to the customer, which could simply bethe services originally sought. Furthermore, the Act provides
nosafeguards against disclosure of personally identifiable informationto law enforcement agencies.
The bill would also preempt all state and local information privacylaws. Recent privacy victories such as an "opt-in" standard forfinancial
information sharing in North Dakota and San Mateo County,
California would thus be repealed. Local interest in privacyprotection has sprung up across the country, but further efforts wouldbe
stymied by this bill.
Mr. Rotenberg noted that even the White House panel charged withprotecting the country from cyberterrorism had shown greater regardfor
privacy protection. Meanwhile, the industry representativespraised the bill. When asked by a committee member about the costs ofcompliance
with the bill, they responded that their policies werealready in compliance with the bill's requirements, and implementationcosts
would be minimal.

[2] European Conference Reaffirms Support for Data Directive
A landmark conference in Brussels with leading privacy experts,
industry leaders, and data protection officials, ended with supportfor the continued implementation of the European Union Data Directive,
but noted areas where implementation could be improved and newopportunities for privacy protection pursued.
Fritz Bolkestein, European Commissioner for Internal Markets, saidthat "the Commission will hesitate before embarking on any kind
of newlegislative action, even those involving minor amendments. Ratherthan embarking on legislative change which, of course, can
be slow toproduce results, we should first exploit all more pragmaticpossibilities at our disposal." Peter Hustinx, the Dutch DataProtection
Commissioner, expressed the view of many when he said thatno one had suggested that the principles in the Directive are notvalid
or that the Directive is unworkable.
The conference explored a wide range of issues related to theimplementation of the Data Directive, the growth of the Internet, theprocessing
of sound and image files, and international issuesincluding data transfers, applicable law, and jurisdiction.
Among the speakers were Lene Espersen, Danish Minister of Justice;
Giacomo Santini, vice-chairman of the Committee on Citizens' Freedomsand Rights, Justice and Home Affairs of the European Parliament;
andStefano Rodotà, President of the Working Party of Article 29 of theDirective (committee of Data Protection Commissioners in theCommunity).
EPIC Executive Director Marc Rotenberg chaired a session on theInternet and Privacy Enhancing Technologies, which included HelmutBäumler
of the German Data Protection Authority, Lee Bygrave of theUniversity of Oslo, Stephanie Perrin of zeroknowledge, MauriceWessling
of Bits of Freedom, and Jason Albert with Covington & Burlingin Brussels. The session explored opportunities and obstacles for thedevelopment
of new techniques to safeguard privacy.
Simon Davies, Director General of Privacy International, summarizing areport on the rights and interests of data subjects, urged theCommission
to continue to seek input from the public and to ensurethat the Directive continues to uphold its critical purpose ofsafeguarding
human rights.
In conclusion, Mr. Bolkestein suggested that the Commission wouldconsider several proposals for future Community action, including:
* the simplification of notification requirements;
* reduction of divergences in Member States practices;
* a more determined effort to promote privacy enhancing technologies;
* more flexible arrangements for the transfer of personal data to third countries, together with a clearer and more uniform interpretation
of the rules;
* promotion of self-regulatory approaches and in particular Codes of Conduct that can contribute to the free movement of personal
data.
A report from the Commission is expected later this year.

[3] Landmark Public Domain Case To Be Argued Before Supreme Court
On Wednesday, October 9, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case ofEldred v. Ashcroft, the challenge to the controversial 1998 Sonny
BonoCopyright Term Extension Act (CTEA). The CTEA lengthened copyrightterms by 20 years, stretching them to 70 years after an artist'sdeath.
This effectively prevents hundreds of thousands of works(notably, and not coincidentally, Mickey Mouse) from falling into thepublic
domain for an additional 20 years. Eldred is the firstchallenge to copyright extensions to reach the Supreme Court.
Although the outcome of this case has significant consequences for thefuture of the CTEA, the public domain, and copyright in general,
theSupreme Court on Wednesday will be considering the more narrowquestion of whether Congress has the right to extend copyright law
ifthe change does not promote the "progress of science and useful arts"
as stated in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. ProfessorLawrence Lessig, who will argue for Eldred before the Court, arguesthat Congress should extend copyright protection only
if the change isaimed at promoting new creative works. The CTEA, rather thanpromoting the progress of arts and sciences, prevents
works fromfalling into the public domain (where they can be used to create newand significant works: Shakespeare and Disney, for
example, borrowedliberally from prior works in creating their masterpieces) despite thefact that no incentive will urge the works'
creators, long dead, toproduce new works. The government counters that the 1998 Act promotesthe arts by protecting their economic
value, thereby fostering greaterincentives to create.
The copyright term limit in 1790, as passed by the First Congress, was14 years, plus another 14 if the creator was still alive. Under
thisstandard, Mickey Mouse, first introduced in 1928, would have enteredthe public domain in 1956. Under the CTEA, Mickey Mouse
will notenter the public domain until 2023. (Prior to the passage of theCTEA, Mickey would have entered the public domain in 2003).
On the eve of the Court hearing, "The Bookmobile" is scheduled toreach Washington, DC on Tuesday night. It is a "mobile digitallibrary
capable of downloading public domain books from the Internetvia satellite and printing them anytime, anywhere, for anyone." TheBookmobile,
which is intended to illustrate the value of books and theimportance of the public domain, left San Francisco on September 30,
and has stopped at schools and libraries across the nation.

[4] Student Profilers Settle Privacy Cases with FTC
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has settled cases against AmericanStudent List (ASL) and the National Research Center for College
andUniversity Admissions (NRCCUA) for collecting personal informationfrom students through deceptive practices. The FTC complaint
allegedthat the companies operated a scheme to cull marketing data throughsurveys administered under the pretense of college admissions
andscholarship opportunities.
NRCCUA sent letters to schools asking teachers to dedicate classroomtime to administering detailed surveys for college admissions
andfinancial aid purposes. These "Post-Secondary Planning" surveyselicited detailed personal information from students, including
theirreligious affiliations, personal interests, and social attitudes. Thesurveys did have a privacy notice, but the language implied
that theinformation was for educational purposes only. NRCCUA marketed theinformation collected to higher education institutions,
but alsoshared the information with ASL, which used the data for directmarketing. ASL is a list brokerage company that sells personalinformation
in "Teenage Lifestyle Interests," "Ethnic Families," and"Preschool" databases.
The settlement requires the companies to improve their privacy noticesby disclosing future marketing use of the survey data incommunications
with students and teachers. Also, the companies cannotuse data collected prior to the settlement for "non-educationalmarketing purposes."
However, this still allows use of student datafor student "recognition" programs, book clubs, magazinesubscriptions, and other "educational"
products.
The FTC's action follows a prosecution brought by the New YorkAttorney General against Student Marketing Group (SMG), a similarstudent-profiling
company (see EPIC Alert 9.16).

[5] Intellectual Property, Digital Rights Management, Online Privacy
Several recent bills and proposals to increase intellectual propertyprotection rights could significantly impact online privacy.
In July, Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA) introduced H.R. 5211, thePeer-to-Peer Piracy Prevention Act, a bill which would "limit theliability
of copyright owners for protecting their works onpeer-to-peer networks." Under the bill, copyright owners would beexempt from all
State and Federal statutory and common law liabilityfor engaging in self-help, including "disabling, interfering with,
blocking, diverting, or otherwise impairing the unauthorizeddistribution, display, performance, or reproduction . . . on apublicly
accessible peer-to-peer file trading network." Whileproponents of the bill claim it would only permit the use of innocuoustechnologies,
the language of the bill fails to limit the copyrightowner's self-help activities other than in terms of direct monetaryloss of "$50
per impairment." For copyright owners to effectivelyreduce P2P piracy, they are likely to employ more invasive measures inan escalating
"arms race" with peer-to-peer software. As it becomesharder to discover what is being exchanged across P2P networks, and asthe distinction
blurs between the peer-to-peer file trading networksand other general Internet communications such as e-mail and Webbrowsing, copyright
owners may scrutinize the content ofcommunications in order to identify potentially infringingtransactions. Furthermore, it may
become increasingly difficult toeven identify which system within a local network is running a file-
sharing application, requiring more sophisticated surveillance on thepart of the copyright owner. This sort of activity is a necessarypredicate
to taking the self-help measures proposed in H.R. 5211, andcould open the door to significant invasions of user privacy.
Meanwhile, Rep. Billy Tauzin (R-LA) has circulated a draft bill thatwould mandate the adoption of a "broadcast flag" in devices receivingdigital
television broadcast; the FCC has also initiated a request forcomments on a similar rule. In theory, the flag allows copyrightowners
to signal that redistribution or duplication of certain contentbroadcast over the public airwaves is prohibited. The implications
ofthe mandate, however, could be far-reaching as copyright owners seekto gain complete control over their content. For example,
the flag'spresence might trigger certain devices to report back to the copyrightowner that unauthorized duplication is taking place.
Furthermore, theflag could be used to prohibit traditional "fair use" of copyrightedworks. Since details on the actual implementation
of the broadcastflag remain unresolved, EPIC plans to monitor these developmentsclosely.
Finally, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Rep. Rick Boucher (D-VA) eachintroduced legislation in the past week to protect consumer's rightsand
limit some of the more invasive provisions of the DigitalMillenium Copyright Act. Although action on the bills is unlikely inthe
remaining days of this Congressional session, these bills will setthe stage in the next Congress for a debate over the balance betweenthe
rights of copyright owners and consumers.

From Gutenberg to the Global Information Infrastructure: Access toInformation in the Networked World, by Christine L. Borgman
Will the emerging global information infrastructure (GII) create arevolution in communication equivalent to that wrought by Gutenberg,
or will the result be simply the evolutionary adaptation of existingbehavior and institutions to new media? Will the GII improve
accessto information for all? Will it replace libraries and publishers?
How can computers and information systems be made easier to use?
What are the trade-offs between tailoring information systems to usercommunities and standardizing them to interconnect with systemsdesigned
for other communities, cultures, and languages?
This book takes a close look at these and other questions oftechnology, behavior, and policy surrounding the GII. Topics coveredinclude
the design and use of digital libraries; behavioral andinstitutional aspects of electronic publishing; the evolving role oflibraries;
the life cycle of creating, using, and seeking information;
and the adoption and adaptation of information technologies. The booktakes a human-centered perspective, focusing on how well the
GII fitsinto the daily lives of the people it is supposed to benefit.
Taking a unique holistic approach to information access, the bookdraws on research and practice in computer science, communications,
library and information science, information policy, business,
economics, law, political science, sociology, history, education, andarchival and museum studies. It explores both domestic andinternational
issues. The author's own empirical research iscomplemented by extensive literature reviews and analyses.
