DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT

The growth of broadband connections is allowing video content owners to deliver more and more of their entertainment, information and advertising over the Internet. That creates new revenue streams for Web portals, content aggregators and broadband service providers. But that business could dry up if Web site operators can’t convince content owners that their proprietary content will be protected from piracy. How much responsibility should Web sites bear for the conduct of their millions of users? How can they limit their liability for users’ misuse of intellectual property? How can they convince content owners that proprietary material will be protected, so they can secure licensing deals?

COFFEE & NETWORKING BREAK

CITIZEN JOURNALISM, LIBEL & PRIVACY

New and emerging broadband technologies, as well as applications like blogs and wikis, are allowing anyone to become a journalist or historian. In minutes a consumer can capture an event with a cell phone and upload it to the Internet. Anyone can add encyclopedic data to entries on Wikipedia – often anonymously. But what happens when people who are named in these entries claim defamation or invasion of privacy? Whom do they sue, especially when the origin of the content is obscured? Should the hosts of these new social networking ventures be held liable for misinformation, slanderous comments or other harmful data that appear on their sites?

ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKS & PRIVACY

People are flocking to social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook to introduce themselves to Web users around the world. But this can come back to haunt them. Employers are increasingly searching MySpace to look for revealing details on prospective employees. And teenagers’ social networking sites are often targeted by online predators looking to set up clandestine meetings. Do consumers give up substantial privacy rights when they post their information on social networks? And what responsibilities do Web sites bear in protecting their users from criminals?
