Info on three new publications from Harvard University Berkman Center's
Digital Media Project FYI. You can subscribe to The Filter newsletter
yourself at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/filter/subscribe
The Berkman Center's Digital Media Project released three new papers this
month. "Content & Control: Assessing the Impact of Policy Choices on
Potential Online Business Models in the Music and Film Industries"
examines emerging business models for digital media distribution -- from
projects like Shawn Fanning's SNOCAP and Apple's iTunes to more experimental
projects -- and the policy questions they raise.


James Plummer forgot one important thing about the national networked
ID card the Feds are trying to create.  The Federal government can't
force state governments to do anything about this.  It's the choice of
the states whether to become more intrusive or less intrusive about
their citizens' privacy.
Here's the catch.  If your state doesn't knuckle under to the Feds,
nobody from your state will be allowed to travel after the deadline.

President Bush on Monday presented Congress
with a $2.6 trillion budget for the federal government that would
modestly reduce some social programs while boosting overall

The White House has proposed spending hundreds of millions of dollars
on computer security, technology upgrades and aerial surveillance
devices as part of a 7 percent increase in information technology spending
by federal agencies.
