The conference had top-tier legal experts discussing such issues as DMCA and WIPO, as well as industry experts such as SONICblue CTO Andrew Wolfe speaking about his company's recent legal battles. I wanted to share a couple interesting ideas with you: There was an interesting talk by Judge James Holderman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. In his view, there is a grave need for a patent court at the trial level because generalist judges are not prepared to handle patent law for numerous reasons. Additionally, Professor Julie Cohen of Georgetown University Law Center had some interesting ideas about protecting individuals' privacy by allowing them to bring trespass action against corporate computer "hackers" seeking to "protect" their copyrighted works by accessing individuals? in-home computers via P2P networks. I wrote a two-part article about the conference. I hope your readers find it interesting.
