Yale Cybercrime Conference

Susan Crawford blogged the Yale Information Society Project conference on cybercrime, Digital Cops in a Virtual Environment.
Jack Balkin: “what are the different forms of cyberprotest, and how do they relate to the freedom of speech?”
Jonathan Zittrain talks “about filtering in China and circumvention of such filtering. And hacktivism.”
Lee Tien: “How does a user know when a device has been redesigned to limit what the user can do?”
Paul Ohm: “Technology in the courtroom:  Too much of it, and not enough of it.”
Nicolai Seitz on “the problems of transborder enforcement of requests for information.”
Marc Rotenberg: “to the extent actors seek to comply with legal obligations and claim that they are “privacy enhancing,” then it technologies must incorporate auditing, transparency, all other requirements, because of the enormous risk of government misuse.”
Sonia Katyal: “it’s important to think about the relationships among public/private law enforcement and surveillance.  Cyberspace allows us to contemplate the limits and possibilities of architecture and law.”
Orin Kerr: “computer-related crimes will end up with a different set of procedural rules – “network” criminal procedures.  Even if crimes remain the same, they’re committed in different ways.  New facts will trigger needs for new laws.”
Beryl Howell and Alan Davidson: “specific laws directed to specific problems are very important.  So we need to keep updating these laws to fix mistakes and keep up with changes in technology.”
