In our 533rd issue:
* JOURNALIST EVAN RATLIFF WILL DISCUSS HIS ATTEMPT TO
"VANISH" at the next installment of EFF's dynamic Geek
Reading series on Tuesday, April 13. In a groundbreaking
experiment last August, Evan challenged readers of
Wired Magazine to track him down as he dodged across
the country. Evan will share his behind-the-scenes
experiences of what it means to disappear in the digital
age, exploring the questions of privacy, surveillance,
and identity. Join us this upcoming Tuesday at 7 PM at
111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. Hope to see you there!

* THE D.C. CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS DEALT A BLOW TO THE
FCC'S PROPOSED NET NEUTRALITY REGULATIONS by overturning
the FCC ruling against Comcast for interfering with the
BitTorrent traffic of its subscribers. This is the right
outcome for the court case -- if the FCC's "ancillary
jurisdiction" argument had been accepted today for
net neutrality regulations (something we might like),
it could just as easily have been invoked tomorrow for
any other Internet regulation that the FCC dreams up
(including things we won't like).
The fight now moves back to Congress and the FCC, with
numerous net neutrality advocates urging the FCC to
"reclassify" Internet access services under Title II
of the Communications Act -- another effort to find
FCC authority to regulate ISPs without having to go to
Congress. In the meantime, everyone who cares about net
neutrality will continue to watch ISPs closely for more
evidence of discriminatory practices.

* Sony Steals Feature From Your PlayStation 3
A remote firmware update to the video game console
removed support for the option to run GNU/Linux, again
demonstrating how DRM silently waits to protect someone
else's interests, at the expense of the user's.

* 50,000 New Lawsuits Against Movie Downloaders

* Work With EFF and Tor for Google's Summer of Code
EFF and Tor are looking for student coders to help us with
tech projects as part of Google's Summer Of Code 2010.
Projects at EFF include:
1) TOSBack, which tracks changes to the terms of service
of the Internet's most popular websites;
2) OurVoteLive, which tracks problems in elections with
polling places and voting machines across the US; and
3) Switzerland, a passive IP-layer network neutrality
testing system.
Our friends and colleagues at the Tor project have dozens
of ideas for improving their software, which allows users
to route around Internet censorship and surveillance.
