Ross Anderson was indeed invited by IEEE Spectrum to write an opinion piece in the magazine. We did, and do, have a very high regard for his various expertises and his dedication to important issues for computing and the on-line world. Nevertheless, we'd like to correct a few inaccuracies in the message from him that was posted by a third party. The original manuscript was fine, but was written for insiders who are immersed in European regulatory issues and already have a background against which to read such an article. There was disagreement about the editing from the outset, and rather than get into some long hoohaa about it, it seemed best to set the manuscript free. It was an excellent idea to post the piece, where it will have reached an appropriate audience in advance of 18 April. Regarding the Newsforge posting, I'm told that removing the reference to the DMCA from the IEEE Copyright Form is in the works and was planned even before the posting. Queries can be directed to the manager of copyrights and permissions, Bill Hagen <w.hagen () ieee org> Thanks for the chance to respond, Steven -- Steven Cherry, +1 212-419-7566 Senior Associate Editor IEEE Spectrum, 3 Park Ave, New York, NY 10016 <s.cherry () ieee org> <http://www.spectrum.ieee.org>

The copyright form, which all authors must sign as a condition of publication, requires the signer to warrant that the "publication or dissemination of the Work shall not violate any proprietary right or the Digital Copyright Millennium Act" [sic]. According to their web site at www.ieee.org, the IEEE is a non-profit, technical professional association of more than 377,000 individual members in 150 countries. The IEEE produces 30 percent of the world's published literature in electrical engineering, computers and control technology, holds annually more than 300 major conferences and has more than 860 active standards with 700 under development. Hence, the IEEE's decision to require authors to adhere to the DMCA has the potential to restrict research and discussion of security matters worldwide due to the 1998 U.S. law." <http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=02/04/14/0039211>http:// newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=02/04/14/0039211 --- From: David Crookes <david () crimbles demon co uk> To: declan () well com Subject: Fwd: Censored article Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2002 08:40:16 +0100 ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Censored article Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 16:36:28 +0100 From: Ross Anderson <Ross.Anderson () cl cam ac uk> I was invited to write an article for IEEE Spectrum on the export bill. I did so, but they insisted on editorial changes that I found unacceptable. For example, they wanted to insert a sentence crediting IBM with opposition to export controls, when as we all know IBM was thoroughly in the NSA corner. IEEE first delayed the article to May, and then pulled it. I have put it up on my web site instead: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rja14/spectrum.html Ross
